SEM Series I: Graphical Models

This workshop will help participants develop skills in understanding graphical models, and specifically from the perspective of structural equation modeling (SEM). After a general overview of concepts, regression approaches with observed variables will be demonstrated (path analysis), as well as mediation models in particular.  Alternative approaches and non-SEM settings will also be discussed. Prerequisites: One should have a firm understanding of basic regression estimation techniques.  R will be the program of choice, but nothing beyond very basic skill is assumed.

While this workshop can serve as a standalone session, the content is required knowledge for SEM III: Structural Equation Modeling.

Registration

NOTE: The $189 fee for U-M affiliates includes attendance in all three workshops in the SEM Series: SEM Series I: Graphical Models; SEM Series II: Latent Variables; and SEM III: Structural Equation Models.
