Purpose Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become popular in the information systems (IS) field for relationships between latent variables as measured by manifest variables. However, while researchers using PLS-SEM routinely stress causal-predictive nature of their analyses, model evaluation assessment relies exclusively on criteria designed to assess path model's explanatory power. To take full advantage purpose causal prediction PLS-SEM, it is imperative...

Abstract Traditionally, a larger number of experiments are needed to optimize the performance membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in proton‐exchange fuel cells (PEMFCs) since it involves complex electrochemical, thermodynamic, and hydrodynamic processes. Herein, we introduce artificial intelligence (AI)‐aided models for first time determine key parameters nonprecious metal electrocatalyst‐based PEMFCs, thus avoiding unnecessary during MEA development. Among 16 competing algorithms widely...
