EMR 6710 - Structural Equation Modeling

This is an introduction course in structural modeling with latent variables (SEM). Currently SEM represents an extremely large array of topics, methodologies and models that are applicable to almost all aspects of social, behavioral, health, educational, economic research. As such, there are many possible topics and together they greatly exceed what can be effectively covered within the scope of a single course. Some of the basic topics will include but will not be limited to confirmatory factor models, path models, latent class models, structural regression models and invariance studies.

Note: Open to graduate students only.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: EMR 6510, with a grade of “B” or higher or the faculty member teaching the course must approve any prerequisite exception.

Credits: 3 hours
