Presents a useful guide for applications of SEM whilst
systematically demonstrating various SEM models using Mplus
Focusing on the conceptual and practical aspects of Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM), this book demonstrates basic concepts and
examples of various SEM models, along with updates on many advanced
methods, including confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with
categorical items, bifactor model, Bayesian CFA model, item
response theory (IRT) model, graded response model (GRM), multiple
imputation (MI) of missing values, plausible values of latent
variables, moderated mediation model, Bayesian SEM, latent growth
modeling (LGM) with individually varying times of observations,
dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM), residual dynamic
structural equation modeling (RDSEM), testing measurement
invariance of instrument with categorical variables, longitudinal
latent class analysis (LLCA), latent transition analysis (LTA),
growth mixture modeling (GMM) with covariates and distal outcome,
manual implementation of the BCH method and the three-step method
for mixture modeling, Monte Carlo simulation power analysis for
various SEM models, and estimate sample size for latent class
analysis (LCA) model. The statistical modeling program Mplus
Version 8.2 is featured with all models updated. It provides
researchers with a flexible tool that allows them to analyze data
with an easy-to-use interface and graphical displays of data and
analysis results. Intended as both a teaching resource and a
reference guide, and written in non-mathematical terms, Structural
Equation Modeling: Applications Using Mplus, 2nd edition provides
step-by-step instructions of model specification, estimation,
evaluation, and modification. Chapters cover: Confirmatory Factor
Analysis (CFA); Structural Equation Models (SEM); SEM for
Longitudinal Data; Multi-Group Models; Mixture Models; and Power
Analysis and Sample Size Estimate for SEM. Presents a useful
reference guide for applications of SEM while systematically
demonstrating various advanced SEM models 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 detailed interpretation of Mplus results
using real data sets Introduces different methods for sample size
estimate and statistical power analysis for SEM Structural Equation
Modeling is an excellent book for researchers and graduate students
of SEM who want to understand the theory and learn how to build
their own SEM models using Mplus.
