Greetings! We forward material to get you started using WarpPLS to examine nonlinear (as well as linear) relationships among the latent variables in your structural equation research models. WarpPLS is a new nonlinear (and linear) PLS path modeling tool developed by Dr. Ned Kock at Texas A&M International University. WarpPLS is a valuable new research data analysis tool that complements the linear PLS modeling capabilities of other PLS Path Modeling software packages. We enclose the following items: (1) A url where you can download and install a fully-featured, 90 day version of WarpPLS at no charge: http://www.scriptwarp.com/warppls/#Free_trial_version (2) an Internet audio- and video- recording of a recent 90 minute workshop intended to get you “up and running” using WarpPLS: https://sas.elluminate.com/p.jnlp?sid=voffice&psid=2010-06-04.1040.M.918FA8C49412A77095241EE91FB1B3.vcr (3) an alzip file that contains: (a) two PDFs of slides showing the basics of using WarpPLS; (b) a PDF WarpPLS user manual; (c) a PDF of two WarpPLS modeling exercises; and (d) the associated data sets to use with those exercises. This zip file containing WarpPLS instructional material can be downloaded from this page (is the last file): http://pls-sem.com/cgi-bin/p/awtp-downloads.cgi?d=plssem This is sufficient material to get you up to speed using WarpPLS to investigate the nonlinear relationships in YOUR data, should you choose to pursue that route. If you download and install WarpPLS, view the 90 minute video, and then work through the two exercises, you will know enough to productively use WarpPLS on your own data. I hope that you find this material useful for your research and data analysis activities.
