The non-profit Information Institute (http://www.information-institute.org)
and faculty from Virginia Commonwealth University have opened registration
sites for a new, month long, 14 hour, live, interactive, online summer
course on using the R statistical software for conducting PLS path modeling.
Early registration fees (through May 27) are: ($295 practitioner; $250
faculty; and $195 student). There is a Monday AM course for North and South
America and Europe (June 27-Aug 8 at 11AM-2PM at
https://www.regonline.com/R-plspm-july-AM) and a Monday PM course for the
Pacific Rim (June 27–Aug 8 at 6PM-9PM at
https://www.regonline.com/R-plspm-july-PM).
There are no specific prerequisites for this online course, although it is
useful if you are familiar with linear regression techniques. It is assumed
that you are a relative novice to R, have no programming experience, and
that you want to learn how to specify, model, estimate, evaluate, report and
publish PLS path model studies using R software.
This course teaches you how to program (using scripts) PLS path models using
the PLSPM package in R. The open source R statistical software environment
(see http://www.r-project.org) is quickly becoming the de facto standard for
statistical analysis across multiple disciplines. Learning the R scripting
approach provides an excellent understanding of the mechanics and inner
workings of PLS path modeling (compared to using strictly menu-based
software), as we will write many of the scripts in class.
