Stata: Structural Equation Modeling

Get ready to dive into the world of Structural Equation Modeling with Stata in this noontime online workshop!

This free noontime workshop introduces the concepts and jargon of structural equation modeling (SEM) including path diagrams, latent variables, endogenous and exogenous variables, and goodness of fit. The similarities and differences between Stata's -sem- and -gsem- commands are described, followed by a demonstration of how to fit many familiar models such as linear regression, multivariate regression, logistic regression, confirmatory factor analysis, and multilevel models using -sem- and -gsem-. The workshop wraps up by demonstrating how to fit structural equation models that contain both structural and measurement components.
