Description
"I particularly enjoy the lavaan and Mplus code that accompanies the book, which is more detailed than in other books I have come across. The book is well written and provides excellent syntax examples. I would use it to teach categorical SEM in my graduate SEM course."--Jam Khojasteh, PhD, Research, Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics Program, Oklahoma State University-
