Why Structural Equation Modeling?
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a very versatile and powerful
method for modeling and testing complex relationships among
multiple variables. With the availability of powerful computers and
user friendly software, SEM has become accessible to the
researchers in social sciences. Skills to conceptualize represent and
test complex models are no more a luxury, but an essential
competence for aspiring researchers.
Structural Equation Modeling is a combination of factor analysis and
regression analysis, specifying the observed variables and the
unobserved/latent variables with their errors in measurement that are
not observed in many multivariate analyses. It is a family of
techniques that covers factor analysis, path analysis, regression
models, and change analysis.
Objectives of the FDP
* To provide a detailed understanding of basic concepts, techniques
and tools associated with performing SEM analysis.
* To provide a balanced mix of theoretical concepts and hands on
experience with application of various basic and advanced SEM
techniques with the help of case studies.
* To provide all above through experienced resource person like Dr.
Neeraj Kaushik who has successfully conducted numerous
workshops on Structural Equation Modeling.
Why you should attend?
*It covers all basic and advanced SEM techniques.
*The techniques learned can be applied to thesis, research and
publication work.
*Use of SEM technique improves the acceptance rate of your
publication work.
*FDP duration is 5days which is ideal to understand basic and
advanced SEM techniques and practice all the techniques
learned during the course of workshop.
*One week FDP will provide you opportunity to earn 10 points
as per API norms of UGC.
