Structural Equation Modeling: Foundations and Extensions (Advanced Quantitative Techniques in the Social Sciences)
"This is a thorough and sophisticated treatment of structural equation modeling (SEM). . . . The author clearly is knowledgeable and has put much thought into the pros and cons of standard applications of SEM. The chapters on multilevel and growth modeling are an excellent feature of the book." (Rick H. Hoyle)"...the book is a welcome addition to the literature on structural equation modelling.  The book is one of the first to provide an overview of these recent developments.  Another important merit of this book is its summary of simulation study results on several aspects of the structural equation model, including the earlier mentioned new developments.  As such, it gathers a lot of useful information that otherwise would have to be obtained by persuing through numerous articles in several scientific journals."(Jerry Welkenhuysen-GybelsStatistical Methods in Medical Research2005-01-01)
