cSEM (version 0.1.0)

calculateHTMT: Internal: HTMT

Description

Compute the heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations (HTMT) based on Henseler2015;textualcSEM.

Usage

calculateHTMT(
 .object              = NULL,
 .only_common_factors = TRUE
)

Arguments

.object

An R object of class cSEMResults resulting from a call to csem().

.only_common_factors

Logical. Should only concepts modeled as common factors be included when calculating one of the following quality critera: AVE, the Fornell-Larcker criterion, HTMT, and all reliability estimates. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

A lower tringular matrix of HTMT values.

Details

Similarly to the Cronbach's alpha, the HTMT is a consistent estimator for the construct correlations in case of tau equivalent measurement models.

The HTMT is used to assess discriminant validity.

The function is only applicable to objects inheriting class cSEMResults_default. For objects of class cSEMResults_multi and cSEMResults_2ndorder use assess().
