(Participants will be instructed on how to download the free student version of SIMPLIS/LISREL prior to the course.)Īdvanced Topics in Structural Equation Modeling Throughout the course participants will be able to do practice exercises using SIMPLIS/LISREL participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptop PCs to do these exercises. Examples from a variety of disciplines will be accompanied by input and output using the SIMPLIS/LISREL software package.

We will start with path analysis among measured variables, move into confirmatory factor models, then structural models involving latent causality, and finally into multi-group models and a preview of more advanced topics. An understanding of SEM will be developed by relating it to participants’ previous knowledge of multiple linear regression, and then by expanding it to allow for correlated and causally related latent constructs. This three-day course assumes no prior experience with SEM, and is intended as both a theoretical and practical introduction. Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling
