TY - JOUR AU - Squillacciotti, Silvia AB - [Structural Equation Modelling methods traditionally assume the homogeneity of all the units on which a model is estimated. In many cases, however, this assumption may turn to be false; the presence of latent classes not accounted for by the global model may lead to biased or erroneous results in terms of model parameters and model quality. The traditional multi-group approach to classification is often unsatisfying for several reasons; above all because it leads to classes homogeneous only with respect to external criteria and not to the theoretical model itself.] TI - Handbook of Partial Least Squares: Prediction Oriented Classification in PLS Path Modeling DA - 2009-11-16 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/handbook-of-partial-least-squares-prediction-oriented-classification-trfqx3Xu2w DP - DeepDyve ER -
