    PLS-GUI is developed for the sole purpose of enabling PLS Path Modeling capabilities which do not exist in any other PLS Path Modeling software packages. You are welcome to install and use PLS-GUI at no cost and without restriction. We appreciate the citation if you find it productive in your research. We also appreciate the report of bugs as it is beta software.

    Hello – If you are interested in PLS path modeling, you can download the latest PLS-GUI version with no cost and with no registration (and complete anonymity) here:

    The latest enhancements were developed by my co-developer Dean Lim. The PLS-POS function now allows you to specify up to 8 latent, heterogeneous group segments. And now the MGA function also enables as many pair-wise MGA difference tests as PLS-POS. Also, Dean enhanced the MGA functionality, the Super Boostrapper, and the Super Jackknifer to all take advantage of multiple cores......each now simultaneously process in as many cores as you have on your machine.......consequently, these functions are much, much faster than they were before.....which is a very good thing as they were "computer-resource-hogs."

    However, a consequence of this parallel core processing is that the progress bars for these functions no longer show the "sliding color" progress, but still show the text progress.

    However, they are so much faster you do not have to wait long enough to require a sliding-color progress bar in most cases.

     

    You are welcome to install and use the software without providing any personal or professional information. There is also no cost for your private installation and use. However, if you want support, have questions, want me or Dean to respond to your emails, you need to join the support group here:
