COURSE: Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS

The course is designed as an introductory, applied course in the use of SEM using the Amos18 program. SEM is used widely by researchers to find and test complex relationships amongst observed (measured) variables and latent (unobserved) variables and amongst the latent variables themselves. SEM subsumes other analytical techniques such as regression, path analysis, factor analysis, and canonical correlation. Because of its user-friendly graphics interface, Amos is an ideal way to learn the principles of model analyses using SEM.

Course participants will be provided with instruction and practical experience in the use of Amos to estimate parameters implied by various types of models.
