This is true. PLS is a multivariate statistical method that can handle complex relationships between variables, nonlinearity, and high dimensionality, making it particularly useful in situations where the data is difficult to obtain or of low quality. It can also be used as an alternative to structural equation modeling (SEM) when the measurement quality is not strong enough for use in SEM.
