Bengkel Sehari PLS-SEM menggunakan SmartPLS

Apa itu SMART PLS?

SMART PLS banyak digunakan untuk menganalisis SEM berbasis komponen. Merupakan teknik alternatif dari SEM berbasis variance seperti AMOS dan LISREL. Software ini dikembangkan oleh institute of Hamburg Jerman dan dapat didownload gratis (tapi harus register terlebih dahulu) SmartPLS adalah aplikasi perangkat lunak untuk (grafis) pemodelan jalur dengan variabel laten (LVP). The partial least squares (PLS)-method (PLS) yang digunakan untuk analisis LVP-in software ini.

Smart PLS menggunakan bahasa JAVA, jadi sebelum menggunakan SmartPLS ada baiknya diinstall terlebih dahulu Java Runtime Environment (JRE) yang juga dapat didownload gratis di situs Sun Microsystem.

Ciri-ciri SmartPLS 

Ciri Algoritma PLS-SEM
° Memaksimakan penerangan terhadap nilai R2
° Memproses data dengan cepat walaupun model kompleks.
° Penganggaran secara linear semua indicator.
° Diguna untuk tujuan peramalan (predictive)
° Hasil boleh diguna untuk analisis selanjutnya
° Tidak terkesan walaupun data tidak cukup.
° Tidak memerlukan penilaian ketepatan padanan model (Goodness-of-Fit)
° Penilaian kesahan dan kebolehpercayaan model reflektif berasaskan pelbagai kriteria.
° Penilaian kesahan, signifikan dan relevan bagi pemberat indicator dan kolineariti indicator
° Penilaian Model Struktural berdasarkan kolineariti antara konstruk, Pekali Laluan yang signifikan, Pekali Penentuan (R2), saiz kesan (f2), Kerelevanan prediktif (Q2 dan q2 effect size)  


Ciri Data
° Teknik Analisis Generasi Kedua - amat sesuai untuk Analisis Penerokaan (Exploratory Analysis).
° Diguna untuk membangunkan teori dalam Kajian Penerokaan.
° Dapat menerangkan varians pada pemboleh ubah bersandar semasa menganalisis model kajian.
° Tiada masalah data identifikasi walaupun menggunakan sampel bersaiz kecil.
° ‘Statistical Power’ boleh dicapai dengan mudah menggunakan saiz sampel kecil.
° Saiz sampel yang besar meningkatkan ketepatan model penganggaran.
° Tiada andaian Data Normal di perlukan kerana PLS-SEM adalan kaedah non-parametrik
° Integriti data tidak tergugat selagi mana missing value dalam tahap diterima.
° Boleh mengendalikan data interval, ratio, ordinal, nominal (ada limitasi).

Ciri Model
° Boleh kendali konstruk dengan satu item atau banyak item dalam satu model.
° Mudah gabungkan konstruk reflektif dan formatif bersama dalam satu model.
° Boleh kendali model kompleks yang mempunyai banyak model struktural.
° Semakin banyak item dalam konstruk, dapat mengurangkan bias.
° Mengendalikan model rekursif sahaja (causal loop tidak dibenarkan)

Kelebihan SmartPLS
° Mudah dikendalikan dan dianalisis.
° Memperkenalkan Smart PLS sebagai salah satu aplikasi yang boleh digunakan untuk menjana hasil penyelidikan
° Menghasilkan model yang kemas dan menarik.
° Mempunyai literature dan jaringan kumpulan sokongan seluruh dunia

Artikel dari blog Mendeley.com on 26 March 2014

Meet our March Advisor of the Month!

uncategorized  Meet our March Advisor of the Month!Congratulations and thank you to Othman Talib!


Othman became an Advisor just last month after letting us know about the hundreds of seminars he was teaching all across Malaysia since 2011. How Othman managed to stay under our radar for a long time…we don’t know how, but we are sure glad to know him now! 
His talks integrates Mendeley with the academic thesis writing process and he’s developed an entire program of maximizing Mendeley and academic writing, full of interesting acronyms like:
ZDOT (Zero Draft of Thesis);
SROT (Speed Reading On Target);
FBOT (Filter Based On Theme);
OTOT (Operational Template of Thesis);
AFOT( Article’s Framework Of Thesis)
…and so on. If you can’t tell, Othman really loves his acronyms. Have you seen a common theme in his acronyms?  “As you notice my name is OT (Othman Talib) and now I’m OTFM (Official Trainer for Mendeley)!! People and friends call me just “OT” or “Dr. OT” he said.
Othman has written a book about Mendeley in Malay and is now working on its English translation. 

How did you get into research and what do you research?
I received a Bachelor in Chemistry, Master in science education (both in Malaysia) and Doctor of Education in Science Education from The University of Adelaide, Australia.
I’m interested in research regarding science animation and now in the process of developing Apps for Organic Reaction Mechanisms.

How long have you been on Mendeley?What were you using prior to Mendeley?
I used EndNote during my studies. Then in 2010, I tried Mendeley because its free!! I was so surprised Mendeley is so easy to learn and then I started to use it in my research. Then I posted the steps of using Mendeley in my blog and now my blog is approaching 1 million reviews!

How does Mendeley influence your research?

Mendeley is a superb Reference Manager. Its easy to use, to learn and such a complete package for managing articles. I combine the use of Mendeley with my own technique, Zero Draft of Thesis (ZDOT), Dropbox, and MS Word, it becomes a complete, efficient and fast way to prepare an academic manuscripts (thesis, proposal, project, report etc)

Why did you decide to become an Advisor?
I just love to share with others in the Mendeley Advisor group.


How have you been spreading the word about Mendeley?

 uncategorized  Meet our March Advisor of the Month!

I’m a lecturer of Research Methodology at Universiti Putra Malaysia. I’m also a consultant for my university as well as a speaker for Malaysian Postgraduates Workshop Series. I’m also an advisor for few government agencies. Most of the institutions invited me because they want to learn Mendeley from me.

I wrote a lot about Mendeley in my blog, as well as in my Facebook. I have thousands of friends in facebook and thousands of followers for my blog. My books such as ZDOT and Mendeley are also sold out and need to be reprinted!!

Feel free to explore my Facebook and blog. You can see the word Mendeley even if you don’t understand the Malay language.
