Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata — Professional Development Computer Technology Workshop
ASA , Stata
This workshop covers the use of Stata to perform structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM is a class of statistical techniques for modeling relationships among variables, both observed and latent. SEM encompasses some familiar models such as linear regression, multivariate regression, and extends to mediation models, path models, confirmatory factor models, and full structural equation models. The workshop provides an overview of fitting linear structural equation models and evaluating model fit. Extensions to standard linear SEM that allow for fitting multilevel models and models with binary, categorical, ordinal and count data will also be discussed. Stata allows for fitting structural equation models in two ways-by using the command syntax or using the SEM Builder to draw path diagrams. Examples will demonstrate both approaches. No prior knowledge of Stata is required, but basic familiarity with SEM will prove useful.
