Apply Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypothesized causal structures by combining measurement models (CFA) and structural models (path analysis). Use this skill when the user needs to validate latent constructs, test mediation or moderation paths, assess model fit with CFI/TLI/RMSEA/SRMR, or when they ask 'do these variables form a causal chain', 'how do I test my theoretical model', or 'is my measurement model valid'.
Apply Partial Least Squares SEM (PLS-SEM) with reflective and formative measurement models to maximize explained variance in endogenous constructs. Use this skill when the user has small samples, formative indicators, or exploratory models, needs to assess AVE/CR/HTMT, or when they ask 'should I use PLS or CB-SEM', 'how do I handle formative constructs', or 'what is the path coefficient significance'.
