Catalog description

Structural Equation Modeling: SEM is a statistical technique that is useful in situations there is a complicated set of relationship among variables as specified by theory. It is an increasingly employed technique, and this course is an introduction to its basic concepts, methods and computing tools. It is designed to provide students with the necessary tools to construct, analyze, modify, estimate, evaluate and explain SEM, and reports the results in a manner acceptable in professional journals.
