The course is a thorough examination of the basics of multivariate statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM).  SEM is a very general and flexible analysis approach that combines path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis with the ability to model complex hypothesis relevant for researchers in sociology, psychology, marketing, strategy, education and economics.
