i have 8 factors. I would like to factor analysis using samrtpls. I need guidance in drawing model path daigram for doing factor analysis for 8 factors
Hi Savarimuthu vincent de paul ,
There are numerous video tutorial on how to use SmartPLS software online, however, I would recommend you follow James Gaskin superb tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/user/Gaskination/featured
You may find tutorials for both smartPLS and AMOS there. However, there are major differences between them, and if you are not sure which one to use, here is a good read:
https://www.smartpls.com/documentation/choosing-pls-sem/choosing-between-pls-sem-and-cb-sem
If you finally still chooses to use smartPLS, here are more references to get you started:
Hair, J. F., Hult, G. T. M., Ringle, C. M., & Sarstedt, M. (2017). A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), 2nd ed. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.
Wong, K. K. K. (2013). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques using SmartPLS. Marketing Bulletin, 24(1), 1-32.

Hope this helps.
What about the excellent open-source book of Gaston Sanchez ?
PLS Path Modeling with R: This book provides a hands-on introduction to Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM) using the R package "plspm".
