Structural Equation Modeling with Lisrel, Prelis, and Simplis: Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming

by Barbara M. Byrne

Book Overview

This book illustrates the ease with which various features of LISREL 8 and PRELIS 2 can be implemented in addressing research questions that lend themselves to SEM. Its purpose is threefold: (a) to present a nonmathmatical introduction to basic concepts associated with SEM, (b) to demonstrate basic applications of SEM using both the DOS and Windows versions of LISREL 8, as well as both the LISREL and SIMPLIS lexicons, and (c) to highlight particular...

Customer Reviews

Excellent resource

I am a doctoral student currently enrolled in an SEM class and I found this book to be invaluable. Our class exclusively used LISREL software and this book provided clear explanations of the syntax and output files. Byrne's writing is clear and understandable, plus the chapters are full of worked examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone learning about SEM or learning to write LISREL syntax.

Structural Equation Modeling With Lisrel, Prelis, and Simpli

Offer different softwares(LISREL8, PRELIS2,SIMPLIS) and cover single, multiple groups analyses and provide MTMM model, I thought Dr. Byrne's book one of the most useful resource to apply structural equation model for social science research.
