So far, I knew that we can modify a construct with either formative or reflective indicators in SmartPLS. Is there anyone doing a MIMIC Model in SmartPLS (PLS-SEM)?
In SmartPLS, you would use a two-construct model (one construct has the indicators with the incoming arrows and the other construct has outgoing arrows from the construct to the indicators; the relationship between the constructs is from the first to the second one).
I think reading the following paper will help a lot.
Chang, C., Gardiner, J., Houang, R. et al. Comparing multiple statistical software for multiple-indicator, multiple-cause modeling: an application of gender disparity in adult cognitive functioning using MIDUS II dataset. BMC Med Res Methodol 20, 275 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12874-020-01150-4
It seems that there are theoretical drawbacks to doing this. The first question that comes to mind is what is the purpose of doing this? Is it possible to test a model with both the variance and covariance approach or should the appropriate approach be used?
