Interactive LISREL in Practice Getting Started ith a SIMPLIS Approach [Paperback]

Getting Started with a SIMPLIS Approach is particularly appropriate for those users who are not experts in statistics, but have a basic understanding of multivariate analysis that would allow them to use this handbook as a good first foray into LISREL. Part I introduces the topic, presents the study that serves as the background for the explanation of matters, and provides the basis for Parts II and III, which, in turn, explain the process of estimation of the measurement model and the structural model, respectively. In each section, we also suggest essential literature to support the utilization of the handbook. After having read the book, readers will have acquired a basic knowledge of structural equation modeling, namely using the LISREL program, and will be? prepared to continue with the learning process.

With its pragmatic, interactive, and introductory approach to structural equation modelling (SEM) with Lisrel, this book offers practical, step-by-step examples to help the reader to overcome the first barriers and to enter the realm of SEM.
