Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)
Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 October
BUiLD 2-day training workshop with Dr Mark Griffin
Structural equation modelling is a very general statistical model and widely used method. For example, SEM is used in fundamental disciplines such as the social, economic and psychological sciences, the biological sciences, and applied disciplines such as education, health and marketing. This course provides the fundamentals and statistical theory of SEM as well an overview of its many applications and capabilities. The course is not particularly mathematical, with emphasis on the fundamental concepts of SEM and how it is used by applied researchers. A few places are still available.
