In seminr: Building and Estimating Structural Equation Models

Performs PLS-MGA to report significance of path differences between two subgroups of data

Description

Performs PLS-MGA to report significance of path differences between two subgroups of data

Usage

estimate_pls_mga(pls_model, condition, nboot = 2000, ...)

Arguments

pls_model	SEMinR PLS model estimated on the full sample
condition	logical vector of TRUE/FALSE indicating which rows of sample data are in group 1
nboot	number of bootstrap resamples to use in PLS-MGA
...	any further parameters for bootstrapping (e.g., cores)
