Principles Practices Structural Equation by Kline Rex (3 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. Designed for students and researchers without an extensive quantitative background, this book offers an informative guide to the application, interpretation and pitfalls of structural equation modelling SEM in the social sciences.; The book covers introductory techniques including path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, and provides an overview of more advanced methods such as the evaluation of non-linear effects, the analysis of means in convariance structure models, and latent growth models for longitudinal data. Providing examples from various disciplines to illustrate all aspects of SEM, the book offers clear instructions on the preparation and screening of data, common mistakes to avoid and widely used software programs Amos, EQS and LISREL. The book aims to provide the skills necessary to begin to use SEM in research and to interpret and critique the use of method by others.…

3rd ed. Paperback small quarto, very good plus condition, minimal edgewear. Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 425 pp. This bestselling textbook by Rex. B. Kline provides a balance between the technical and practical aspects of structural equation modeling (SEM). Using clear and accessible language, he covers core techniques, potential pitfalls and applications across the behavioral and social sciences. Some more advanced topics are also covered, including estimation of interactive effects of latent variables and multilevel SEM. This third edition (2011) adds online files for the syntax, data and output files, a chapter on computer tools (EQS, LISREL, and Mplus, and added specialised issues, such as as more rigorous description of hypothesis and model testing. The author is professor of psychology at Concordia University, Montreal. (Third edition, Guilford Press, 2011.).…
