Structural Equation Modeling Using the CALIS Procedure in SAS/STAT® Software — Continuing Education CTW
ASA , SAS
Instructor(s): Yiu-Fai Yung, SAS Institute
"The CALIS procedure in SAS/STAT software is a general structural equation modeling (SEM) tool. This workshop introduces the general methodology of SEM and applications of PROC CALIS. Background topics such as path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, measurement error models, and linear structural relations (LISREL) are reviewed. Applications are demonstrated with examples in social, educational, behavioral, and marketing research. More advanced SEM techniques such as the analysis of total and indirect effects and full information maximum likelihood (FIML) method for treating incomplete observations are also covered. This workshop is designed for statisticians and data analysts who want an overview of SEM applications using the CALIS procedure in SAS/STAT 9.22 and later releases. Attendees should have a basic understanding of regression analysis and experience using the SAS language. Previous exposure to SEM is useful but not required. Attendees will learn how to use PROC CALIS for (1) specifying structural equation models with latent variables, (2) interpreting model fit statistics and estimation results, (3) computing and testing total and indirect effects (4) using the FIML method for treating incomplete observations.
