Features: This book is the first systematic work in China introducing structural equation modeling and LISREL. It elaborates on the basic concepts, statistical principles, applications in social science research, common models, LISREL programs, interpretation of output results, and model evaluation of structural equation analysis (including confirmatory factor analysis). The book also discusses various topics related to structural equation modeling, serving as a comprehensive guide for structural equation analysis from beginner to advanced levels. It can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields, as well as a reference for applied researchers.
In the field of data analysis in social, psychological, educational, economic, management, and marketing research, among the most cutting-edge statistical methods, structural equation analysis stands out as the one with the widest application and most extensive research. It encompasses analysis of variance, regression analysis, path analysis, and factor analysis, addressing the limitations of traditional regression and factor analysis. It can analyze the relationships between multiple causes and effects, explore latent variable interactions, and handle multilevel and longitudinal data, making it a crucial multivariate data analysis tool.
