FDP ON STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING 2015
August 29, 2015 - August 30, 2015
Introduction
The trend in research studies is moving from bivariate analysis to multivariate analysis in recent past. Various multivariate techniques examine single relationship at a time however to deal with complex causal relationship structural equation modeling is a useful technique.
Structural equation modeling is one of the most useful and popular technique for testing the measurement theory and the structural relations among variables. It is a combination of factor analysis and regression analysis, specifying the observed variables and the unobserved/latent variables with their errors in measurement that are not observed in many multivariate analyses. It is a family of techniques that covers factor analysis, path analysis, regression models, and change analysis.
Objectives
- To provide the state-of-the-art knowledge in SEM.
- To familiarize the participants with the usage of application-softwares.
- To equip the teachers and researchers with the desired skills to handle complex research models using SEM
Eligibility
