Discovering Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata : Revised Edition By Alan C. Acock (US Edition, Paperback)

Discovering Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata, Revised Edition is devoted to Stata's sem command and all it can do. Learn about its capabilities in the context of confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation modeling, longitudinal models, and multiplegroup analysis. Each model is presented along with the necessary Stata code, which is parsimonious, powerful, and can be modified to fit a wide variety of models. The datasets used are downloadable, offering a handson approach to learning. A particularly exciting feature of Stata is the SEM Builder. This graphical interface structural equation modeling allows you to draw publicationquality path diagrams and fit the models without writing a programming code. When you fit a model with the SEM Builder, Stata automatically generates the complete code that you can save future use. Use of this unique tool is extensively covered in an appendix and brief examples appear throughout the text.
