| Course Title: | Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling |
Course
Description: | A foundation in structural equation modeling methods and
techniques. The course progresses from measurement models,
including the application of confirmatory factor analysis, to
testing actual structural models with single and multiple
indicator variables. Emphasis is placed on students actually
using the tools. |
| Oasis Title: | INTRO TO SEM |
| Prerequisite: | Permission of department |
Semester Course
Offered: | Offered fall semester every year. |
| Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
|
| Course Objectives: | The major purpose of this course is to provide a foundation
into structural modeling (SEM) techniques and issues. The
outcome I wish to achieve is to give knowledge and skills to
test ordinary models. |
| Topical Outline: | 1. Path models
2. Exploratory factor analyses
3. Confirmatory factor analyses
4. Model fit
5. Multiple indicator latent variables
6. Model identification |
