PSYCH 315H - Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)

Structural equation modeling is a statistical technique for estimating interrelations in a model containing multiple predictors and outcomes. Theoretical issues and practical applications will involve path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, hybrid and latent predictive models, and other uses of latent factors. The course involves assembling a portfolio of weekly homework assignments. For the final project, students are expected to hypothesize a model, test the fit against their own data, and write a full-length manuscript. Prerequisite: Psych 308c
