Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling using Mplus

This five-hour workshop covers various introductory topics in structural equation modeling, starting with path modeling with continuous and categorical variables. Topics include:

  1. Assumptions and data considerations
  2. Model creation, identification, and evaluation
  3. Multiple regression vs path analysis
  4. Testing mediation
  5. Confirmatory factor analysis

Examples will be demonstrated using Mplus. Syntax and output will be provided for all examples covered in the workshop. Registration and payment can be made directly online. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Cheques and Email Transfers. We offer discounted pricing for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows.

This workshop is for anyone interested in gaining an introductory understanding of structural equation modeling. Participants are encouraged to have a working knowledge of multiple regression.

No prior knowledge of Mplus is required.

For this hands-on workshop we will be working with Mplus. For those who are not working with any specific software, we provide all syntax and output for each example to allow for participation without the use of any software.

If you do not own a copy of Mplus, a free but limited demonstration version is available for download at the Mplus website. To run all of the examples used during the workshop, it is recommended that participants have a licensed copy of the Mplus Base program.

Handout materials and datasets will be provided.

Registration will continue until the workshop begins. If you need to cancel your registration, please contact us at info@enablytics.com.

Cancellations up to 30 days prior to the event will be refunded at 100%. Cancellations between 11 and 29 days prior to the event will refunded at 50%.
