The non-profit Information Institute (http://www.information-institute.org) and faculty from Virginia Commonwealth University have opened registration sites for a new, month long, 14 hour, online summer course on using the R statistical software for conducting PLS path modeling. Early registration fees (through May 27) are: ($295 practitioner; $250 faculty; and $195 student). There is a Monday AM course for North and South America and Europe (June 27-Aug 8 at 11AM-2PM at https://www.regonline.com/R-plspm-july-AM) and a Monday PM course for the Pacific Rim (June 27–Aug 8 at 6PM-9PM at https://www.regonline.com/R-plspm-july-PM).
There are no specific prerequisites for this online course, although it is useful if you are familiar with linear regression techniques. It is assumed that you are a relative novice to R, have no programming experience, and that you want to learn how to specify, model, estimate, evaluate, report and publish PLS path model studies using R software.
This course teaches you how to program (using scripts) PLS path models using the PLSPM package in R. The open source R statistical software environment (see http://www.r-project.org) is quickly becoming the de facto standard for statistical analysis across multiple disciplines. Learning the R scripting approach provides an excellent understanding of the mechanics and inner workings of PLS path modeling (compared to using strictly menu-based software), as we will write many of the scripts in class.
