Karachi, 10th - 11th August, 2023
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a 2-day workshop that will introduce the basic use of structural equation modeling (SEM is a family of statistical models that seek to explain the relationships among multiple variables) which is the most popular analysis software at the moment. This workshop will help postgraduate students/new researchers on how to do extended analysis using the SmartPLS software and how to present them professionally. This workshop will use practical hands- on approach with real research data sets with research questions that can be answered using the data available. Some useful tips on how and where to get published will be given.
