Structural Equation Models and Its Application

Usman, M.; Iqbal, M.; Qamar, Z.; Shah, S.I.A.

Abstract

This study describe the general aspects of the Structural Equation Models as well as some extensions which have been proposed; these extensions looking for relax the underlying assumptions and generalize the technique. Then, based on a simplified model we consider the three stages to make an application; after we present path analysis which is a way to analyse Structural Equations Models and a special case called Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Finally we make an application based on the study monitoring the Future as an example of Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
