A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling by Tenko Raykov

A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling by Tenko Raykov

In this book, authors Tenko Raykov and George A. Marcoulides introduce students to the basics of structural equation modeling (SEM) through a conceptual, nonmathematical approach. For ease of understanding, the few mathematical formulas presented are used in a conceptual or illustrative nature, rather than a computational one. Featuring examples from EQS, LISREL, and Mplus, A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling is an excellent beginner’s guide to learning how to set up input files to fit the most commonly used types of structural equation models with these programs. The basic ideas and methods for conducting SEM are independent of any particular software. Highlights of the Second Edition include: • Review of latent change (growth) analysis models at an introductory level • Coverage of the popular Mplus program • Updated examples of LISREL and EQS • Downloadable resources that contains all of the text’s LISREL, EQS, and Mplus examples. A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling is intended as an introductory book for students and researchers in psychology, education, business, medicine, and other applied social, behavioral, and health sciences with limited or no previous exposure to SEM. A prerequisite of basic statistics through regression analysis is recommended. The book frequently draws parallels between SEM and regression, making this prior knowledge helpful.

Praise for the First Edition:

"The book is ideal for individuals interested in learning the basics about SEM, evaluating research that employs SEM, and perhaps even performing SEM in subsequent research" - Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science

"Raykov and Marcoulides have added to the SEM library a text that does a serviceable job of introducing the student or researcher to the basic fundamentals of modeling." - Structural Equation Modeling
