Description:
Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a quantitative method that allows researchers to formulate, understand, and estimate a wide range of statistical models using standard software. To name a few: (Multivariate) regression, mediation models, instrumental variables, panel data analysis, growth curves, and factor analysis. SEM models also incorporate categorical, count and censored observed variables, as well as complex survey designs.
This course provides a fast-paced introduction to SEM. Participants will 1) gain knowledge of the wide range of problems that can be tackled with SEM; 2) do a basic analysis in SEM software and 3) learn how to educate themselves further on the topic by reading and reproducing others’ analyses.
Participants will need to bring their own laptops.
