5. Font

You can change the font style and sizes of labels for constructs, indicators, and paths under the

Preferences Menu: Font option. The program does not allow you to save any changes at this point in

time - but will in the next release.

6. Background Color:

You can change the grey background color to white.

F. Options item:

This menu item represents options available in the PLS program which you can specify when

generating a PLSX deck. The menu is broken into two sections as follows:

1. Run

Pertains to all the run options available in the PLSX program. In particular, you need to specify the

inner weighting scheme, number of dimensions, stop criterion, iterations, deflation. The program

currently has default settings which you can view upon selecting this option (to change these settings,

use the Save Current option in the Preferences item). In addition, if you choose to perform

blindfolding, the blindfold measure slot allows you to select the particular measure. The blindfold

slot also allows you to cancel the command to perform blindfolding executed at the Construct level.

Three additional features are provided in this section. They are:

A. Case Selection by indicator:

You can choose a particular indicator as a case filter where you decide to select only those cases that

are (greater than, equal, or less than) a particular value.

B. Case Selection by missing value:

Here you choose the option <Missing Value>. When using this in conjunction with greater than,

equal, or less than comparison symbol, you are filtering the data according to how many missing

values you will allow for a particular case. As an example, if you graphed a model with 10

indicators, a <Missing Value> < 4 means that only cases that have 3 or fewer missing values are

written to the PLSX deck.

C. Run Information

If a raw data file has been linked, run information regarding how many cases and variables are

available are presented. In addition, information on the number of constructs in your existing graph

and whether one was chosen for blindfolding are also presented.

D. Global Setting of Missing Values

The use of missing values need to be given a check in the designated box. In the adjacent slot, you

can indicate what the global missing value should be. If a particular indicator uses a different value

to indicate as missing, you need to select that particular indicator in your graph and specify the

appropriate missing value locally.
