This course is offered as part of the Radboud Summer School in Social Research Methods, in collaboration with MethodsNET (a global network that offers excellent training in social research methods).

This course on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) covers models with observed and latent variables. We show the possibilities of SEM in a simple way, without neglecting the complexities of SEM.
