SEM Meaning and Mapping
This workshop starts with a non-mathematical introduction to the underlying logic: revisiting variables and dependence, association vs causality, assumptions vs evidence of causality, and issues such as falsification or accumulation of evidence, counterfactuals and experiments. Then we distil the basic building blocks of SEM, and their representation both in pictures and in the simple math of a regression model, avoiding the math of computation.
