Topics discussed on Structural Equation Modelling are as follows:
- Fundamental meaning of SEM
- Identification of underlying structures using Factor Analysis
- Theory building from Exploratory Factor Analysis
- Confirmatory Factor Analysis
- Use and process of CFA
- Convergent validity
- Discriminant validity
- Goodness of fit indices and its measures to compare with output from SEM
Students were very enthusiastic engaged with creating a path and SEM analysis. Following is the students participated in the session.
