<p>The <b>partial least squares path modeling</b> or <b>partial least squares structural equation modeling</b> (<b>PLS-PM</b>, <b>PLS-SEM</b>) is a method for <a href="page.php?w=structural_equation_modeling">structural equation modeling</a> that allows estimation of complex cause-effect relationships in path models with <a href="page.php?w=latent_variables">latent variables</a>.</p>

<p><big>Overview</big></p>
<p>PLS-PM is a component-based estimation approach that differs from the covariance-based <a href="page.php?w=structural_equation_modeling">structural equation modeling</a>.</p><p>
