Applied Structural Equation Modeling

A CSCAR Workshop
Center for Statistical Consultation and Research, The University of Michigan


April 28 - May 1, 2008

Laura Klem and Lingling Zhang

This workshop is designed to help participants develop skills in defining, estimating and testing plausible structural equation models. Applied Structural Equation Modeling will focus on covariance structure models with latent variables. Two submodels, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis, will also be covered. Lectures covering structural equation modeling in general will be interspersed with hands-on computer work, using both AMOS7 and LISREL 8 software. The workshop is intended as an introduction to structural equation modeling.


Instructor:

Laura Klem is a Senior Research Associate with CSCAR. Her CSCAR responsibilities include extensive consulting on structural equation models, and primary support for LISREL and AMOS (structural equation modeling software). Additional CSCAR staff will provide assistance during the computer lab.

Lingling Zhang is a consultant for SAS, SPSS, and NVivo at CSCAR

Audience:

Researchers in social sciences and other applied fields who may encounter data suitable for structural equation models.
