SEMGate vs SmartPLS: Side-by-Side PLS-SEM Comparison

Do SEMGate and SmartPLS give you the same PLS-SEM results? We ran the same dataset and model in both tools side by side and compared the output step by step. In this video: • Creating a project and importing data • Drawing the model • Running the PLS-SEM algorithm • Outer loadings, R², f², construct reliability and validity • Discriminant validity: HTMT and Fornell-Larcker • Bootstrapping: path coefficients and confidence intervals • Mediation: specific indirect effects • Moderation: simple slope analysis CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction: SEMGate vs SmartPLS 0:50 SmartPLS: create a new model 1:05 SmartPLS: draw the model 2:36 SEMGate: create a project 3:00 SEMGate: import data 3:08 SEMGate: draw the model 4:55 Run the PLS-SEM algorithm 5:10 Outer loadings 6:25 R-square 6:55 f-square 7:25 Construct reliability and validity 8:55 Discriminant validity: HTMT 9:25 Discriminant validity: Fornell-Larcker 9:55 Bootstrapping setup 10:40 Bootstrapping: path coefficients 12:40 Mediation: specific indirect effects 14:10 Bias-corrected confidence intervals 14:55 Moderation: simple slope analysis Try SEMGate: https://semgate.net #SEMGate #PLSSEM #StructuralEquationModeling #ResearchMethods
