Variance-based structural equation modeling is extensively used in information systems research, and many related findings may have been distorted by hidden collinearity. This is a problem that may extent to multivariate analyses in general, in the field of information systems as well as in many...

Let us say that a coincidence involving two events, where one seems to predict the other, happens a number of times. How many times until it can be considered not only a coincidence, but a statistically significant pattern? We propose a framework to answer this question. Using the framework, we...
