This highly specialized application is intended for structural equation modeling using the partial least squares and several other factor based methods.
WarpPLS
WarpPLS is a Windows utility that allows you to analyze data collected from various sources such as questionnaire surveys and test hypothesized internal relationships. It can be used by researchers without any programming experience. MATLAB is required for the correct functioning of all features.
Data analysis
This software contains classic composite based as well as factor based PLS algorithms. With their help users can identify nonlinear relationships. Instruments for modeling reflective and formative variables are provided.
It is possible to calculate P values, quality indices and full collinearity coefficients. Effect sizes and Q-squared predictive validity constants can be estimated as well. You are able to plot visual graphs based on the raw numerical data. There is support for logistic regression variables in models.
Please note that the free trial version of WarpPLS has limited capabilities and will expire 90 days after activation.
Export
Users can save resulting information as Excel spreadsheets. Additionally, an option to export graphs to JPG files is included. This functionality is helpful for sharing research results with other people.
