PLS-MGA: PLS Multi-Group Analysis

[@AlanShawesq]

If alpha is 5% and you are using a 2 tail test, should not be the case that significant differences occur when the percentages are smaller than 2.5% or greater than 97.5%?

Hello everyone, does anyone please know how to test three-way interactions effect using SmartPls 3?

Dear Scholars, Is it required to conduct omnibus test of group differences (OTG) if the study compare different categories under one group. For instance, if the study attempts to examine the heterogeneity effect in a single group, namely 'Authority type', and that includes three categories i.e. 1)Government; 2) Semi-government; and 3) Private. Sarstedt, Henseler, and Ringle (2011) proposed the omnibus test of group differences (OTG) for analyzing the differences of two and more groups of relationships. Based on the case mentioned above, according to Sarstedt, Henseler, and Ringle (2011), what is considered as a group? is it 'Authority type' ? or three classication stated under the group? Can i just conduct PLS- MGA in above case?

No, this is not necessary. The advanced PLS-SEM book provides explanations on how to deal with more than two groups: www.smartpls.com/documentation/getting-started/book-on-advanced-pls-sem-issues

In the newer SmartPLS versions, you get a p value that should do the job.
