Review

This is just a brief note to let you know how useful I have found your text, A Step-by-Step Approach to Using the SAS System for Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. Yours is the only book I have encountered that deals so directly and simply with the points of confusion that arise in factor analysis. The words, phraseology, and illustrations that you use will become part of my vocabulary when I write up my analysis or explain my work to clients and coworkers who do not have a statistical background. The book is truly step-by-step and will make it easy for me to guide the work of others should the need arise. --Bob Gerzoff, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta

Product Description

Packed with concrete examples, Hatcher's book provides an introduction to more advanced statistical procedures and includes handy appendices that give basic instruction in using the SAS System. Novice SAS users will find all they need to master SAS basics and move into advanced statistical analyses in this one book. Featured is a simple, step-by-step approach to testing structural equation models with latent variables using the CALIS procedure. The following topics are explained in easy-to-understand terms: exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis, and developing measurement models with confirmatory factor analysis. Other covered topics of note include "LISREL-type" analyses with the user-friendly PROC CALIS and solving problems encountered in real-world social science research.

Supports releases 6.09 and higher of SAS software.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tutorial for the rusty structural modeler!, October 6, 1998
By Geoff P. Willis (Edmond, OK United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book does an outstanding job of taking someone that is somewhat rusty in advanced multivariate techniques and turning them into a conversant and competent modeler. Larry Hatcher uses plain English to explain what a technique may be used for, what the required SAS code is, what the output should look like, and how the output can be interpreted. I'd strongly recommend this book for anyone taking a structural equation modeling course or wishing to apply this technique in research.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank goodness for this book, October 21, 2002
By Megan Squire (Gibsonville, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really needed this for my dissertation. As a computer scientist who is using statistically-based data mining techniques in my PhD dissertation, I needed a good "Quick Course" in factor analysis. More important than just "what is factor analysis", I needed to know how to implement my ideas in SAS. This book did the trick. Now let's hope my advisors think so. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, May 1, 2003
By A Customer
This outstanding book was one of the mainstays for my Ph.D. dissertation. It explain factor analysis and SEM techniques in a clear and effective way, with an hands-on approach that guides the reader during all the data analysis and result interpretation phases.
