Advanced Data Analysis (SEM) using MPlus

This workshop starts with a brief overview of structural equation modeling. Then, we will discuss how to import data into Mplus and how to specify a model using Mplus syntax. Participants are familiarized with the important parts of the input and output files. We will also discuss model fit indices, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to deal with error messages. Practice exercises include multiple regression and factor analysis, key foundations for structural equation models in Mplus. 

Target Audience:
Research Master Students, PhD students or post-graduate researchers and faculty from a variety of fields will benefit from the course.
