Modeling with Structural Equations

Welcome! The purpose of this website is to provide information for those interested in using the methodology known as Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Both background information and tutorials are provided.

NEW IN 2015! I now have a companion site that provides a more complete set of tutorials developed from my workshops. That url is -https://www.usgs.gov/centers/wetland-and-aquatic-research-center/science/quantitative-analysis-using-structural-equation

Note, if the above link does not open a new page, copy and paste into browser.

If your interest is specifically in Amos demonstrations, those only reside on this site (for now). Otherwise, check out the new site for the new resources, especially SEM implemented in the R program.
