The Four Models You Meet in Structural Equation Modeling
By Manolo Romero Escobar On a previous post (Why do I need to have knowledge of multiple regression to understand SEM?) we showed how a multiple regression model could be conceptualized using...

The last, and sometimes hardest, step for running any statistical model is writing up results. As with most other steps, this one is a bit more complicated for structural equation models than it is...
View ArticleFirst Steps in Structural Equation Modeling: Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is the fundamental first step in running most types of SEM models. You want to do this first to verify the measurement quality of any and all latent constructs you’re...
View ArticleOne of the Many Advantages to Running Confirmatory Factor Analysis with a...
Based on questions I’ve been asked by clients, most analysts prefer using the factor analysis procedures in their general statistical software to run a confirmatory factor analysis. While this can work...
