Hongwei "Patrick" Yang (Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation) will be offering EPE 773 Section 4: Applied Structural Equation Modeling with an application in latent growth curve modeling (LGM) next spring. Free SPSS AMOS software will be used. Some basic statistics is assumed (sample statistics, sample moments, hypothesis testing, regression models) and such topics will be reviewed at the beginning of the course. Matrix algebra is not required because the course is applied.
Spring 2011: EPE 773 Section 4
Applied Structural Equation Modeling (SEM):
With an application in growth curve modeling
SEM is a highly popular technique for analyzing survey/instrument data and understanding relationships between latent and observed variables. SEM is also an important tool for analyzing longitudinal data. The course aims to help students understand and become competent users of SEM. SPSS AMOS will be used in the course.
Topics include the following:
1. Path analysis of observed variables
2. Measurement model under confirmatory factor analysis
3. General structural equation models containing both measurement & structural models
4. Growth curve modeling from the SEM perspective for analyzing longitudinal data
