- In this video titled: Robustness Checks using #SmartPLS4, we will discuss how to perform structural model robustness checks that includes the assessment of Linearity, Endogeneity, and Heterogeneity.
The session is divided into three main sections, each addressing a crucial aspect of model assessment.
Linearity Assessment:
Learn how to check the assumption of linearity in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) models. Understand the use of quadratic effects in SmartPLS, interpret P values, and confirm the linearity of relationships between variables.
Endogeneity Analysis:
Explore the assessment of endogeneity in your model using the Gaussian Copula approach. Follow a step-by-step guide to checking individual and combined relationships for endogeneity issues.
Heterogeneity Examination:
Gain insights into the significance of unobserved heterogeneity and its impact on model estimates. Discover the FIMIX procedure in SmartPLS for assessing heterogeneity. Understand the process of determining the optimal number of segments and interpreting model selection criteria.
By the end of this session, you'll be equipped with valuable knowledge and practical techniques to ensure the robustness of your structural model in SmartPLS4, covering linearity, endogeneity, and unobserved heterogeneity.

@Alfred from Seoul. Thank you Dr. Fawad for your detailed lectures. Your resources are life-saving.
Thank you.
This video is so helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have curiosity that can we apply Gaussian copula on normally distributed to identify endogeneity? As one of the assumptions is "the endogenous regressor should exhibit sufficient nonnormality for the Gaussian copula approach to be applicable. Researchers need to confirm the nonnormality of the endogenous regressor through appropriate tests."
If you have the support for the proposition.
Dear Dr
My calculated segment is 2.411 (sample size 164, gpower total sample size =68). decided to use 3 segments, the result shows:
AIC (segment 1), MDL-5 (segment 2)
AIC 3 (segment 1) & CAIC (segment 2)
AIC 4 (segment 2) & BIC(segment 2)
Can I consider there to be no issues of unobserved heterogeneity? Although the number of segments should be less than AIC and above MDL-5, which is not happening in this case?.
Tried to use 2 segments instead, but all criteria pointed to segment 1 only.
1 segment is fine.
Dear Prof, these days should be done after we validate the measurement model and before doing structural model? Thank you.
Sorry? I do not fully understand the question.
@@researchwithfawad Sorry, spelling mistake. It should be,
These robustness checks should be done after we validate the measurement model and before analyzing the structural model?
Or as a part of the structural model assement?
Do it before measurement model
@@researchwithfawad Thank you Professor.
I'm thinking if the sample less than 150, might no need for heterogenity test
Why?
well done!! but I have reported non linearity using SPSS especially one incorporates multi method such ANFIS with SEM
That is an option as well.
EXCELLENT. YOUR CONTENT IS VERY USEFUL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP IN ANY MEANS@@researchwithfawad
Salam Dr. Fawad, can I ask if there is non linear effect for some of the endogenous variables, how should we treat it or just remain as it is? For example FinTech adoption - online financing and income or FinTech adoption - online financing and subjective well-being. Because it can be explained that other factors mush have more weight on income besides online financing OR at a certain point of time, technology is not able to generate more income but for Zakat capital assistance, theres no cost involve except for internet connection or logistic cost to cybercafe to apply for free online financing.
WAS. Thanks for watching. How serious is the deviation. If other robustness tests are fine, you can have a cautious interpretation of results by mentioning the issue.
It seems like all failed but the robustness tests are just complementary test right?@@researchwithfawad
Yes
Do we need to check the linerity for HOC model if yes how
Yes you can check and the process remains the same.
Hi Dr. Fawad. May i know in what situation we need to conduct a robustness test?
It is recommended to be performed for each analysis.
Hi Dr. Fawad, could u demonstrate Ramsey Reset using Spss? Thank you
