It reviews applications in a broad range of disciplines, particularly in the social sciences where many key concepts are not directly observable. This is the first book to present SEM?s development in its proper historical context?essential to understanding the application, strengths and weaknesses of each particular method. This book also surveys the emerging path and network approaches that complement and enhance SEM, and that will grow in importance in the near future. SEM?s ability to accommodate unobservable theory constructs through latent variables is of significant importance to social scientists. Latent variable theory and application are comprehensively explained, and methods are presented for extending their power, including guidelines for data preparation, sample size calculation, and the special treatment of Likert scale data. Tables of software, methodologies and fit statistics provide a concise reference for any research program, helping assure that its conclusions are defensible and publishable. 000726795 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 1, 2015). 000726795 650_0 $$aStructural equation modeling. 000726795 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319165066 000726795 830_0 $$aStudies in systems. decision and control. 000726795 852__ $$bebk 000726795 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-16507-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726795 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726795$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726795 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726795 980__ $$aBIB 000726795 982__ $$aEbook 000726795 983__ $$aOnline 000726795 994__ $$a92$$bISE
