SINTOK July 15, 2019 – Doctoral Candidates today participated in a workshop by Dr Arfan Shahzad on application of PLS-SEM in Database Analysis. The day-long workshop exposed doctoral candidates to PLS-SEM as an exploratory methodology suitable with respect to researcher’s prediction-oriented objectives as it does not require normal data distribution and accommodates small sample sizes. Doctoral Candidates were also exposed to advanced forms of PLS-SEM.
It is hoped that Doctoral Candidates who participated benefited through this programme and overall wider benefits through their doctoral programmes in their personal development.
