SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training & Consulting Workshop: Introductory and Intermediate SEM
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop, presented by Dr. Tenko Raykov, 
 deals with introductory and intermediate aspects 
 of the increasingly popular methodology of 
 structural equation modeling (SEM) in the behavioral, 
 educational, social, business, marketing, 
 and biomedical disciplines. The workshop 
 begins with a coherent introduction to the 
 basics of the methodology, including model 
 identification issues, implied covariance and 
 mean structure, parameter estimation, robust 
 maximum likelihood estimation, and model fit 
 evaluation. Longitudinal data analysis is subsequently 
 focused on, including issues pertaining 
 to fitting unconditional and conditional 
 (covariate based) models to data from repeated 
 measure studies. Throughout the workshop, 
 multiple use of numerical data and examples 
 are utilized and the popular latent variable 
 modeling program Mplus is employed. The workshop 
 is geared toward graduate students and faculty 
 from the social, behavioral, educational, 
 biomedical and business sciences.\n\n
