Structural Equation Modeling with EQS and EQS/WINDOWS : Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming

Rating:
Summary: Clear Explanations of Complex Material
Review: Barbara Byrne manages to make a very complicated topic seem manageable and understandable. This book is ideal for people familiar with the basics of psychology statistics, but relatively new at structural equation modeling. My only complaints are that the index is a bit sparse, so I found myself thumbing through the book frequently; and sometimes the details of how to apply the concepts directly to EQS commands were left a bit unclear. However, overall this was an excellent starter book for structural equation newbies!
