Hello,
I am new to R and hope I will not seem ignorant in this post. I am
currently using the plspm package by Gaston Sanchez accompanied by his
text book.
I have attempted to create a square matrix, which has seemed
successful. I used the following code:
Then I attempted to set up the pls model using the following code (as
directed by the textbook and the r help function):
However, I received the following error (I tried multiple times, and
cannot determine what the error is):

Error in `[.data.frame`(crossloadings, , c("name", "block", colnames(xloads))) :

  undefined columns selected


I would really appreciate if anyone could provide advice on how to
correct this error. I am using the plspm package in order to analyze
my data for my masters thesis at the University of Waterloo.

Thank you!
Sarah

You need to first go through a basic tutorial to learn basic R
constructs and functionality. IMHO, fooling around with special
packages before you learn the basics is a bad strategy. Packages
generally assume you know the basics.

Some tutorial recommendations can be found here:

But just googling around the web will turn up lots of alternatives.
Choose what suits you best.


Cheers,
Bert

Hello,

Your code throws an error before the line you've mentioned:

Error in rbind(`Behavioural Beliefs`, Attitude, `Normative Beliefs`, 
`Subjective Norm`,  :
   object 'Behavioural Beliefs' not found


Please correct this error and post what 'Behavioural Beliefs' is.

Hope this helps,
