IBM SPSS - Advanced: Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS

Course description

This hands-on computer workshop is an introduction to structural equation modelling (SEM) using Amos software. Structural equation modelling is a family of statistical techniques aimed to build and test more complex statistical models. It can be used as a more powerful and general alternative to multiple regression, path analysis and factor analysis (which in fact can be seen as special cases of SEM).
