Structural equation modeling (SEM) has become one of the most important statistical procedures in the social and behavioral sciences. This easy-to-understand guide makes SEM accessible to all users?even those whose training in statistics is limited or who have never used SAS. It gently guides users through the basics of using SAS and shows how to perform some of the most sophisticated data-analysis procedures used by researchers: exploratory factor analysis, path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. It shows how to perform analyses with user-friendly PROC CALIS, and offers solutions for problems often encountered in real-world research. This second edition contains new material on sample-size estimation for path analysis and structural equation modeling. In a single user-friendly volume, students and researchers will find all the information they need in order to master SAS basics before moving on to factor analysis, path analysis, and other advanced statistical procedures.SAS Products and Releases: SAS/STAT: 9.3_M1, 9.3, 9.22, 9.21_M1, 9.21, 9.2, 9.1.3, 9.1.2, 9.1, 9.0, 8.2, 8.1, 8.01, 8.00, 8.0, 7.01, 6.12, 6.11, 6.10, 6.09, 6.08, 6.07, 6.06, 6.04, 6.03, 6.02, 12.1 Operating Systems: All
