The Center for Integrated Latent Variable Research (CILVR)
presents
ONLINE SHORT COURSE: STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING: A FIRST COURSE
January 4-6, 2020 (Monday-Wednesday)
taught by
Gregory Hancock, University of Maryland
Short Description
This three-day course assumes no prior experience with SEM, and is intended as both a theoretical and practical introduction. 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. 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. Examples from a variety of disciplines will be accompanied by example code and output from the Mplus software package. Throughout the course participants will be able to do practice exercises using Mplus.
