An Introduction in Structural Equation Modeling
www.joophox.net › publist › semfamreStructural equation modeling provides a very general and convenient framework for statistical analysis that includes several traditional multivariate procedures, for example factor analysis, regression analysis, discriminant analysis, and canonical correlation, as special cases. Structural equation models are often visualized by a

www.sciencedirect.com › topics › neuroscienceStructural-equation modeling is an extension of factor analysis and is a methodology designed primarily to test substantive theory from empirical data. For example, a theory may suggest that certain mental traits do not affect other traits and that certain variables do not load on certain factors, and that structural equation modeling can be used to test the theory. (A mental trait is a habitual pattern of behavior, thought and emotion.)
The Basics of Structural Equation Modeling
www.lexjansen.com › wuss › 2006Structural equation modeling (SEM) • is a comprehensive statistical approach to testing hypotheses about relations among observed and latent variables (Hoyle, 1995). • is a methodology for representing, estimating, and testing a theoretical network of (mostly) linear relations between variables (Rigdon, 1998).
