I have many colleagues who advocate the use of SEM-PLS.
However, an editor from a top tier journal suggested that "modern ML SEM procedures can account for non-normal distributions and small sample size without the drawbacks of PLS".
I searched for some critical perspectives on PLS. I am attaching one of these contributions for your perusal. What are your views about PLS?
I look forward receiving your remarks and suggestions (on the use of PLS. Should I use other statistical programs - e.g. AMOS, LISREL, MPLUS, R ?).
Best Regards,
Mark
