It covers step-by-step guides to data analysis using SMARTPLS 4 for four latest data analysis methods, which are PLS-SEM, CB-SEM, PROCESS, and REGRESSION. It discusses in detail the concepts of the methods before presenting step-by-step data analysis on 14 new research examples. Readers could easily learn the methods of data analysis using SMARTPLS 4 through the following research examples: 1. Analyzing a reflective PLS-SEM model 2. Analyzing a PLS-SEM model with a mixture of reflective and formative models 3. Analyzing a PLS-SEM model for mediating effect and moderating effect 4. Analyzing a complex model with SMARTPLS-SEM for cross-field prediction 5. Establishing a research instrument using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) 6. Analyzing a regression model using CB-SEM 7. Analyzing the effect of a CB-SEM two-order model in a mediation model 8. Analyzing a non-recursive mediation model using CB-SEM 9. Analyzing a mediated moderation model by controlling a covariate using PROCESS 10. Validating a moderated mediation model by controlling a covariate using PROCESS 11. Analyzing a multiple necessary condition model 12. Combining PLS-SEM and NCA in analyzing a multiple-indicators necessary condition model 13. Predicting the effects in a multiple logistic regression model 14. Analyzing the effects in a multiple linear regression model This book is a useful teaching and learning tool for research courses. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter to reinforce readers’ understanding of the chapter. Review: Good book - The book is really great. The author also provide me with the sample data sets for my personal practice. Review: Best resource for learning the SmartPLS with examples - Dear Dr. Chua, I am Dr. Ambati Nageswara Rao. I felt compelled to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable contribution to the field of SmartPLS learning. For the past three years, I have been trying to grasp the intricacies of this software, and frankly, I struggled to find a resource that could truly illuminate the concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Your books have been a revelation! Your step-by-step approach and lucid explanations have not only demystified complex topics but have also instilled in me a newfound confidence in my ability to utilize SmartPLS 4 effectively. The clarity you bring to each and every concept is truly remarkable and has significantly enhanced my understanding. I have diligently worked through all the concepts presented in your books and now feel well-prepared to solidify my learning through practical application. Thank you once again for creating such exceptional and much-needed resources. Your work has made a significant impact on my learning journey. With deepest appreciation, Regards, Dr. A.N. Rao ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 367,270 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 328 in Teaching Adult Education | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 8 Reviews | ## Images ![A step-by-step guide to SMARTPLS 4: Data analysis using PLS-SEM, CB-SEM, Process and Regression - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IsogGi8OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book *by J***I on 6 January 2026* The book is really great.
