Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling in Lavaan with Crosswalk to Other Open-Source Software

In this 2.5-hour workshop, Michael D. Hunter, PhD, Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, will give a brief, high-level overview of structural equation modeling, a way of representing multiple, simultaneous influences among a set of variables. With hands-on practical exercises, participants will be provided the skills needed to understand, interpret, and specify structural equation models in the R package lavaan. Tools will be provided to assist you in writing your own scripts and understanding the scripts that are widely available online.
