Resumo(s)
The traditional approach to PLS-PM estimated the scores of the formative latent variables as exact linear combinations of their associated manifest variables, not allowing for modelling other relationships besides the linear ones. The present study intends to overcome this limitation, introducing the P-IRLS-PM. The P-IRLS-PM is a new approach to the variance based structural equations models, which intends to widen the spectra of how the formative latent scores are represented by its associated manifest variables. Throughout this work the core concepts of the algorithm P-IRLS-PM will be introduced, followed by a Monte Carlo experiment comparing the new approach with the traditional PLS-PM.
