Workshop on Structural Equation Modeling
THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT. ASK TO BE ON THE WAITLIST
Instructors: David A. Kenny
and Stephanie Milan (University of Connecticut)
Dates: June 14-18, 2010
A one-week workshop on Structural Equation Modeling will be held at the University of Connecticut from Monday
June 14 through Friday June 18, 2010. The focus is on linear models with continuous outcomes.
Among the topics covered to be covered are the basic terms, path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and latent variable modeling. Topics NOT to be covered are categorical and ordinal outcomes, models with feedback, and models with means. Also, we do not plan to discuss explicitly longitudinal modeling, but some of the methods can be used for longitudinal models.
Participants will learn how to set up a structural equation model (SEM) and be able to interpret the results from their analyses. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of multiple regression. Instruction consists of lecture, computer workshops, and individualized consultations. The emphasis will be practical with minimal emphasis on statistical theory. The instructors and a teaching assistant will also be available for individual meetings.
The computer workshop will use the program AMOS graphics. No prior experience with AMOS is required. Also in meetings with individual participants, alternative programs (e.g., LISREL, EQS, Mplus) will be discussed.
Because the number of spaces
is limited, please apply soon to reserve a space. To register, send
an email to DATIC staff,

Participants are encouraged to
bring their own data, though it is not necessary to do so. They should contact the staff beforehand to
ensure that data are appropriately formatted for analysis.
