Advanced Issues in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling provides a practical and applied description of advanced issues in PLS-SEM relevant for students, professors and applied researchers. Authors Joseph F. Hair, Jr., Marko Sarstedt, Christian Ringle, Siegfried P. Gudergan combine simple explanations of complex statistical concepts with examples and case studies that readers can follow using datasets available with the book. Furthermore, instead of providing technical descriptions of the concepts with a multitude of formulae, the book will focus on the appropriate analysis of data and interpretation of outputs. Many of the examples are based on the SmartPLS software, created and maintained by the authors. The book is easy to use for both independent and guided learning, including numerous graphs, tables, illustrations, multiple downloadable datasets (provided on a companion website), exercises, and further readings. Where appropriate, supplementary analyses and data mana

Laws and regulations affect the daily lives of businesses and citizens. It is important that they are designed in a way that takes account of their social, environmental and business impacts and ensures they remain relevant in today's fast-changing context. The second edition of the Better Regulation Practices across the European Union report analyses recent developments and current practices for improving the quality of laws and regulations across all 27 EU Member States and the European Union. Using the OECD Indicators of Regulatory Policy and Governance, the report systematically assesses the use of evidence-based tools and stakeholder participation in the design and review of both domestic and EU laws and regulations, and provides a detailed assessment of the application of the proportionality principle. The report presents good regulatory practices and highlights areas that should receive further attention and investment.

Many books on reliability focus on either modeling or statistical analysis and require an extensive background in probability and statistics. Continuing its tradition of excellence as an introductory text for those with limited formal education in the subject, this classroom-tested book introduces the necessary concepts in probability and statistics within the context of their application to reliability. The Third Edition adds brief discussions of the Anderson Darling test, the Cox proportionate hazards model, the Accelerated Failure Time model, and Monte Carlo simulation.Over 80 new end-of-chapter exercises have been added, as well as solutions to all odd-numbered exercises. Moreover, Excel workbooks, available for download, save students from performing numerous tedious calculations and allow them to focus on reliability concepts. Ebeling has created an exceptional text that enables readers to learn how to analyze failure, repair data, and derive appropriate models for reliability an
