Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In statistics, path analysis is used to describe the directed dependencies among a set of variables. As such, models equivalent to any form of multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, canonical correlation analysis, discriminant analysis, as well as more general families of models in the multivariate analysis of variance and covariance analyses (MANOVA, ANOVA, ANCOVA). In addition to being thought of as a form of multiple regression focusing on causality, path analysis can be viewed as a special case of structural equation modeling (SEM) ? one in which only single indicators are employed for each of the variables in the causal model. Put another way, path analysis is SEM with a structural model, but no measurement model. Other terms used to refer to path analysis include causal modeling, analysis of covariance structures, and latent variable models.
