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 basic analysis using the SmartPLS 4 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.
Main Aims
- To assist postgraduate students in producing appropriate analysis for their research theses
