Steps to Address Missing Data

Steps to Address Missing Data Addressing missing data is an important step in the data preprocessing phase of any data analysis or machine learning project. Here are some common strategies for handling missing data: Identify Missing Data: Begin by identifying which features have missing values and the extent of the missing data. Understanding the pattern […]

How to Address Missing Data in SPSS

Missing Data Using SPSS If you are missing much of your data, this can cause several problems. The most apparent problem is that there simply won’t be enough data points to run your analyses. The EFA, CFA, and path models require a certain number of data points in order to compute estimates. This number increases […]

Discriminant Validity through Fronell-Larcker Criterion SPSS

Discriminant Validity through Fronell-Larcker Criterion The Fronell-Larcker criterion is one of the most popular techniques used to check the discriminant validity of measurements models. According to this criterion, the square root of the average variance extracted by a construct must be greater than the correlation between the construct and any other construct. Once this condition […]
