Path analysis (statistics) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Path_analysis_(statistics)In statistics, path analysis is used to describe the directed dependencies among a set of variables. This includes models equivalent to any form of multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, canonical correlation analysis, discriminant analysis, as well as more general families of models in the multivariate analysis of variance and covariance analyses. In addition to being thought of as a form of multiple regression focusing on causality, path analysis can be viewed as a special case of stru
Analyzing Data: Path Analysis - IDRE Stats
stats.oarc.ucla.edu › analyzing-data-path-analysisPath analysis is used to estimate a system of equations in which all of the variables are observed. Unlike models that include latent variables, path models assume perfect measurement of the observed variables; only the structural relationships between the observed variables are modeled. This type of model is often used when one or more variables is thought to mediate the relationship between two others (mediation models).
Path Analysis -- Advanced Statistics using R
advstats.psychstat.org › book › pathPath analysis is a type of statistical method to investigate the direct and indirect relationship among a set of exogenous (independent, predictor, input) and endogenous (dependent, output) variables. Path analysis can be viewed as generalization of regression and mediation analysis where multiple input, mediators, and output can be used.
