Über dieses Buch

“Getting Started with a SIMPLIS Approach” is particularly appropriate for those users who are not experts in statistics, but have a basic understanding of multivariate analysis that would allow them to use this handbook as a good first foray into LISREL. Part I introduces the topic, presents the study that serves as the background for the explanation of matters, and provides the basis for Parts II and III, which, in turn, explain the process of estimation of the measurement model and the structural model, respectively. In each section, we also suggest essential literature to support the utilization of the handbook. After having read the book, readers will have acquired a basic knowledge of structural equation modeling, namely using the LISREL program, and will be prepared to continue with the learning process.

INTRODUCTION AND PREPARATION OF THE ANALYSIS

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
This chapter introduces SEM and LISREL and elaborates on their practical usefulness. It distinguishes latent vs. manifest variables, endogenous vs. exogenous variables, as well as measurement vs. structural (sub-)models. It also illustrates the first two steps of a SEM analysis with Interactive LISREL.

Chapter 2. Preparation of the Analysis
Abstract
This chapter describes the SEM analysis preparation procedures, including the choice of the input matrix and estimation technique, the selection of goodness-of-fit-indices, as well as a step-by-step, annotated illustration of how to conduct normality tests.

ASSESSMENT OF MEASUREMENT MODEL

Chapter 3. Assessment of Measurement Model
Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the assessment of the measurement (sub-)model. It includes step-by-step, annotated illustrations of how to build and test a second-order CFA model, as well as how to perform dimensionality, reliability and validity tests. Chapter 3 also introduces the SIMPLIS command language and LISREL outputs

ASSESSMENT OF STRUCTURAL MODEL

Chapter 4. Assessment of Structural Model
Abstract
This chapter addresses the assessment of the structural model. It includes a step-by-step, annotated illustration of the testing of the whole model (i.e., the model integrating both the measurement and the structural components), as well as its cross-validation, assessment of statistical power, and comparison to a rival model.
