Thank you for the video, sir. I want to ask a question.
I want to measure financial literacy,being independent variable, on Yes/No type question instead of likert scale. Does PLS - SEM support the independent variable being measured on binary scale?

[@DhavalSaifaleeAaryash]

Yes

Sir, my moderation is gender and it is a continuous variable. Why when i bootstraping it always say Singular matrix Problem. What should i do sir? Thankyou

[@hameemislam753]

@ dhaval mehta sir i have a moderating variable "age" as moderator i have 3 ivs and1 dv and i put moderation age on each relationship do i need to create dummy variables for each category becoz age has 4 categories below 35 , 36-45,46-55 and above 55 or i do not need to create dummy variables and in spss i put age variable direcly on scale not ordinal or interval or nominal category
Plz reply

Sir i am not able to find demographic factors in the imported data file.
Please guide.

[@anugrewal9790]

Greetings sir
In case of demographic moderator having more than 2 categories influencing single relationship in the model , we have to create dummies and then check?

[@DhavalSaifaleeAaryash]

yes

[@stutikumar1827]

Sir, very well explained. In my model, the independant variable is categorical (car driven: imported vs. local ) and so is the mediating variable (type of road: city vs. highway). I am planning to use pls-sem for the analysis.. is it ok?

[@DhavalSaifaleeAaryash]

@@stutikumar1827 yes you can use. You can connect with me on [e-mail]

[@AamirDTE]

Thank You for your helpful video.
Sir, may we use a mediator as a categorical variable?
Like CGPA

[@DhavalSaifaleeAaryash]

Yes

[@joneyjanotra1345]

Very well explained Sir. I have a quary sir, what should we do if moderating variable has more than two Category, should we perform the analysis with binary scale or we keep it as categorical scale

[@DhavalSaifaleeAaryash]

Keep it categorical

[@joneyjanotra1345]
