Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Using R: A Workbook
The definitive companion for learning PLS-SEM with SEMinR. Written by Joseph F. Hair, G. Tomas M. Hult, Christian M. Ringle, Marko Sarstedt, Nicholas P. Danks, and Soumya Ray, this workbook walks through the full modeling workflow — from specifying constructs to assessing measurement and structural models — using SEMinR throughout. It is completely open-access and free to download, and has been downloaded well over 45,000 times.
SEMinR Lecture Series (video course)
A free, step-by-step YouTube course on running PLS-SEM in R with SEMinR. The lectures walk through installing R and SEMinR, specifying measurement and structural models, estimating PLS-SEM, and printing, exporting, and plotting your results — a natural companion to the workbook above.
Quick Theming Tutorial (video)
A short walkthrough from SEMinR package author André Calero Valdez showing how to restyle your model diagrams — colours, node and edge styling, and labels — using SEMinR’s theming tools and the interactive Theme Builder, so your plots match your paper or presentation.
Ask questions
The friendliest place to ask questions, share your work, and discuss PLS-SEM and CBSEM with the developers and other users.
