This course introduces structural equation modeling and its implementation in Stata. Stata allows for fitting structural equation models in two ways—by using the command syntax or using the SEM Builder to draw path diagrams. Examples will demonstrate both approaches, starting with linear regression up to confirmatory factor analysis and growth curve modeling. Model identification and evaluation will also be extensively discussed. The course concludes with a brief introduction to multilevel models and generalized linear models within the SEM framework.
