AMOS
Learn Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS. Covers path analysis, CFA, model fit, mediation, moderation, and multi-group analysis.
About this course
AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) is the leading software for Structural Equation Modeling, widely used in academic research across business, psychology, education, and the social sciences. This course provides comprehensive, hands-on training in AMOS, covering everything from path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to advanced techniques like mediation, moderation, and multi-group analysis. You will learn to build, evaluate, and refine structural models, interpret model fit indices, and present SEM results in a way that meets publication standards. The course is particularly designed for PhD candidates, master's students, and researchers who need to apply SEM in their dissertations or published research.
