Rescale standardized latent variable scores to original scale of manifest variables

Usage

rescale(pls, data = NULL)

Value

A data frame with the rescaled latent variable scores

Arguments

pls

object of class "plspm"

data

Optional dataset (matrix or data frame) used when argument dataset=NULL inside pls.

 ## example with customer satisfaction analysis

 # load data satisfaction

 # define outer model list
 sat_blocks = list(1:5, 6:10, 11:15, 16:19, 20:23, 24:27)

 # define vector of reflective modes
 sat_modes = rep("A", 6)

 # apply plspm

 # rescaling standardized scores of latent variables
 new_scores = rescale(my_pls)

 # compare standardized LVs against rescaled LVs
