Am conducting a multgroup analysis in PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3 and I came across an interesting situation.
There is a moderator variable which is having an effect on one group (lets say X1) and not having an effect on another (say X2), this is evident by the t-values and probability obtained. But the inter-group difference of t-value isnt significant. How to report this? Assume that the moderator has only two categorical levels.
What I inferred was that since there were no inter-group differences in terms of p-value, even though X1 has a significant p-value, it might be considered a sampling error and for the general population there is no moderating effect of X on the relationship. Thus, no heterogeneity was observed.
Is this correct?

Dear Professor Alshibly,
Sorry my delay in my answer. Howerver I'm very greaffull, for your fast and very rapid response e kind favor.
aI will contact you agaain about a fundamental error that I observed in aplications in PCA, in chemometric field. I'm sure about this fact. I wrote to Professor Iam Jollif (Rochester University, author of PCA - Springer Verlag)) retired now and he agree with my observation. I invite you to analyse such fail and to write a chemometric article about this.Woul you mind in thing about this amd to work together. I believed that this article will be a gr

Deaer Profssor Alshibly,
Sorry the delay in my answer. Howerver I'm very greatfull, for your fast and very rapid response e kind favor.
I will contact you again about a fundamental error and possible fatal error that I observed in aplications of PCA, in chemometric field. I'm sure about this fact. I wrote to Professor Iam Jollif (Rochester University, book author of "The PCA" - Springer Verlag)) retired now, and he agree with my observation. I invite you to analyse such fail and to write a chemometric article about this.Woul you mind in thing about this ?. I believ that this article will be a great contribuition to chemometrics. Basically the error iis a strong instability in PCA by SVD or eigenvalue diagonalization derivation. Can you you send me your e-mail to start our discussion?
Sincerely yours
Cesar
