Getting Started

ResearchPLS is a desktop application for building and estimating statistical models -- primarily PLS-SEM and CB-SEM, alongside standalone regression, mediation, and moderation analysis -- without leaving a single, integrated workspace.

A typical project follows one path: import a dataset, build a model on the visual canvas, run an analysis, review the results, read the interpretation notes, and export a report. Each stage is covered in its own section of this documentation.

Every project lives locally on your machine (a single SQLite file in the app's data directory) -- there is no cloud upload step and no account required to work with your data.
