In your opinion, which statistical tool is more useful for factor analysis, SPSS or SmartPLS? Please answer based on your experiences.
Thank you so much.
Dear Mosayeb;
"SmartPLS"
The reasons are as follows:
- Low number of statistical samples.
- Abnormal data.
- Creating both formative and reflective models.
- Complexity of the model (a large number of structures and indicators).
- Examining hypotheses include moderating variables.
- etc.
SPSS for EFA
Smartpls or Amos for CFA
Agreed with Usama.
In Smartpls you can do model comparisons.
