- with formula

- with algebra

(1) introduction

(2) path analysis

~ what are those shapes and arrows mean: regression, predictors, latent variables, residuals, correlations, association

~ what are differences between normal models and structural models: mediators...and others, dependent variables, structured relations

~ how to design the path diagrams: can be hypothesis-driven, then test them; or data-driven (could be dangerous)

~ test the indirect effect (with one or more mediators): should be tested all of them as a unit (@ 19:45)

(3) factor analysis

~ observed factors/data

~ latent factors

(4) SEM

- model fit

~ the residuals

~ observed data and the model

~ several indices to evaluate the model

he describes relative goodness-of-fit indices (TLI, CFI, IFI) and absolute goodness-of-fit indices (RMSEA) as well as the standardized root mean residual (SRMR). He concludes with recommendations for how all of these measures of model fit can be used in practice.
