[AISWorld] Interactive Online PLS Path Modeling Tool for SmartPLS users

[Geoffrey Hubona]

Hello - I am developing a free, web-based interactive PLS Path Modeling
tool. Right now it is only useful for SmartPLS users as it only accepts a
SmartPLS modeling file (.splsm file) as input (along with the CSV data
file). However, it extends SmartPLS capabilities. Soon, one will be able to
input their own model directly, by specifying their LVs and MVs.

It was developed using the incredible new shiny package (developed by
RStudio) with R software (all free to anyone). Since it has available to it
all of the mathematical and statistical power of every R package (or
library), it has the potential to greatly extend existing PLS path modeling
capabilities with very little development effort.

The basic prototype code is here: https://gist.github.com/pls-man/6336153

To use it, simply have the R console running on your computer and with the
shiny package installed and loaded, type into your R window:

*shiny::runGist('6336153')*

You must have R running and you must have the 'shiny' package installed and
loaded into your session. You should also have the two PLS R packages
'pslpm' and 'semPLS' installed in your R library.
I intend to add a number of useful features in the near-time frame.

There still could be a bug or two, but it seems to work fine for me. I'd be
interested in receiving any feedback you care to provide, both pro- and
con-.

Best,

Geoff Hubona
