Structural equation modeling (SEM) encompasses such diverse statistical techniques as path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, causal modeling with latent variables, and even analysis of variance ...

Bayesian methods in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) represent a paradigm shift in statistical analysis, integrating prior beliefs with empirical data to derive robust parameter estimates. This ...

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a powerful statistical approach for the testing of networks of direct and indirect theoretical causal relationships in complex data sets with intercorrelated ...

Latent factors are variables that cannot be observed directly but can be inferred from a set of observable variables. For example, in psychology, bad conduct (latent factor) can be measured by how ...
