Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book does an outstanding job of taking someone that is somewhat rusty in advanced multivariate techniques and turning them into a conversant and competent modeler. Larry Hatcher uses plain English to explain what a technique may be used for, what the required SAS code is, what the output should look like, and how the output can be interpreted. I'd strongly recommend this book for anyone taking a structural equation modeling course or wishing to apply this technique in research.

Packed with concrete examples, Larry Hatcher's Step-by-Step Approach to Using SAS for Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling provides an introduction to more advanced statistical procedures and includes handy appendixes that give basic instruction in using SAS. Novice SAS users will find all they need in this one volume to master SAS basics and to move into advanced statistical analyses. Featured is a simple, step-by-step approach to testing structural equation models with latent variables using the CALIS procedure. The following topics are explained in easy-to-understand terms: exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis, and developing measurement models with confirmatory factor analysis. Other topics of note include "LISREL-type" analyses with the user-friendly PROC CALIS and solving problems encountered in real-world social science research.
