Review
" . . . . Newcomers to SEM who want to use EQS or EQS/Windows would benefit greatly from this book, either for self-teaching or as a supplemental guide in a course. . . . Byrne intends her books 'to provide a practical guide to SEM using the EQS approach.' She succeeds admirably."
Product Description
Researchers and students who want a more accessible alternative to the EQS manual will find exactly what they're looking for in this practical text. Written specifically for those with little to no knowledge of structural equation modeling (SEM) or EQS the author "walks" the reader through the varied steps involved in the process of testing SEM models: model specification and estimation, assessment of model fit, EQS output, and interpretation of findings. Each of the book's numerous applications includes a statement of the hypothesis being tested, an illustration of the model, the input and output files, tips on how to use the pull-down menus, and the data file upon which the application is based. The book carefully works through applications starting with simple single group analyses through to more advanced applications, such as a multi-group, latent growth curve, and multilevel modeling. The new edition features many new applications, a CD enclosed with the book that includes all application data, and a description of how to build models both interactively using the BUILD-EQ interface and graphically using the EQS Diagrammer.
