商品描述

A reference guide for applications of SEM using Mplus

Structural Equation Modeling: Applications Using Mplus is intended as both a teaching resource and a reference guide. Written in non-mathematical terms, this book focuses on the conceptual and practical aspects of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Basic concepts and examples of various SEM models are demonstrated along with recently developed advanced methods, such as mixture modeling and model-based power analysis and sample size estimate for SEM. The statistical modeling program, Mplus, is also featured and provides researchers with a flexible tool to analyze their data with an easy-to-use interface and graphical displays of data and analysis results.

Key features:

  • Presents a useful reference guide for applications of SEM whilst systematically demonstrating various advanced SEM models, such as multi-group and mixture models using Mplus.
  • Discusses and demonstrates various SEM models using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data with both continuous and categorical outcomes.
  • Provides step-by-step instructions of model specification and estimation, as well as detail interpretation of Mplus results.
  • Explores different methods for sample size estimate and statistical power analysis for SEM.

By following the examples provided in this book, readers will be able to build their own SEM models using Mplus. Teachers, graduate students, and researchers in social sciences and health studies will also benefit from this book.

《使用 Mplus 的結構方程模型應用參考指南》

《結構方程模型:使用 Mplus 的應用》旨在作為教學資源和參考指南。本書以非數學術語為基礎,專注於結構方程模型(SEM)的概念和實踐方面。除了基本概念和各種SEM模型的示例外,還演示了最近發展的高級方法,如混合模型和基於模型的SEM功效分析和樣本量估計。統計建模程序Mplus也是本書的重點,它為研究人員提供了一個靈活的工具,以易於使用的界面和數據和分析結果的圖形顯示來分析他們的數據。

主要特點:
- 提供了SEM應用的有用參考指南,同時系統地演示了使用Mplus的各種高級SEM模型,如多組和混合模型。
- 討論並演示了使用橫斷面和縱向數據以及連續和分類結果的各種SEM模型。
- 提供了模型規範和估計的逐步指導,以及對Mplus結果的詳細解釋。
- 探討了SEM的樣本量估計和統計功效分析的不同方法。

通過遵循本書提供的示例,讀者將能夠使用Mplus構建自己的SEM模型。社會科學和健康研究領域的教師、研究生和研究人員也將從本書中受益。
