Calculates P values, model fit and quality indices, and full collinearity coefficients. Models reflective and formative variables, as well as moderating effects. Also models linear relationships, using classic and factor-based PLS algorithms. Identifies nonlinear relationships, and estimates path coefficients accordingly. Implements classic (composite-based) as well as factor-based PLS algorithms. Very easy to use, with a step-by-step user interface guide. Some of its most distinguishing features are the following:
Since its first release in 2009, its user base has grown steadily, now comprising more than 7,000 users in over 33 countries. WarpPLS is a powerful PLS-based structural equation modeling (SEM) software. Therefore, if you already have one of those versions of WarpPLS installed on your computer, you should not reinstall the Runtime. The MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.14, used in this version, is the same as the one used in versions 2.0-4.0. Users are notified of that by the software, and given the opportunity not to convert the files if they so wish. Project files generated with previous versions are automatically converted to version 5.0 project files. Users of previous versions can use the same license information that they already have it will work for version 5.0 for the remainder of their license periods.
There is no need to uninstall previous versions of WarpPLS to be able to install and use this new version. Some important notes for users of previous versions: The full User Manual is also available for download from the web site above separately from the software. You can download and install it for a free trial from: Version 5.0 of WarpPLS is now available, as a beta version.
