Product Description
This book illustrates the ease with which AMOS 4.0 can be used to address research questions that lend themselves to structural equation modeling (SEM). This goal is achieved by: 1) presenting a nonmathematical introduction to the basic concepts and applications of structural equation modeling; 2) demonstrating basic applications of SEM using AMOS 4.0; and 3) highlighting features of AMOS 4.0 that address important caveats related to SEM analyses. brbrWritten in a "user-friendly" style, the author "walks" the reader through 10 SEM applications from model specification to estimation to the assessment and interpretation of the output. Each of the book's applications is accompanied by:br*a statement of the hypothesis being tested;br*a schematic representation of the model under study;br*the use and function of a wide variety of icons and pull-down menus;br*a full explanation of related AMOS Graphic input models and output files;br*a model input file based on AMOS BASIC; andbr*the published reference from which each application was drawn.

Structional Equaltion Modelling with AMOS October 29, 2008
The book is very good for both beginners and to some degree for intermediate persons. Also, chapters include many illustrative examples.br /Besides, you can download the examples from a given web site, which is usefull to solve the examples in the book by yourself.

Good approach to AMOS, sometimes hard to follow June 23, 2008
The book is comprehensible in general, it permits to make the exercises in Amos very easily. Nevertheless some explanations are hard to follow, for instance, what she call the "smorgasbord" of quality indices and other technical issues are difficult to follow, I had to read several times to connect the ideas and get the final picture of what she tries to explain, and figure out why the output may indicate that the model may be bad and good at the same time.br /Concerning explanations I prefer the book by Tenko Raykov about SEM, but it is not related to AMOS, so the book by Byrne is acceptable. in addition Byrne provides several examples that are very useful.

Great reference source January 28, 2008
This is an excellent book for beginners to AMOS, as well as to anyone who needs an occasional straightforward and detailed reference source. That said, don't expect detailed discussions of the theoretical underpinnings of SEM. I would classify this as a strictly practical, hands-on approach - and completely indispensable because of it.br /br /One little bit of concern I have is that this book was published in 2001. Though it appears to remain relevant, it was written using AMOS version 4.0 (I'm using 7.0 now). It hasn't been a problem so far, but I would expect to find a few things that are out of date from time-to-time. A revision would be most welcom.

Good but? December 13, 2007
The printed output analysis may prove helpful - if I ever get that far.br /br /After struggling for most of a day attempting to display output path weights I began searching the Internet for helps and how to's. br /br /A CD that contained sample data for the printed examples would have been very much appreciated.br /br /

Structural Equation Modeling With AMOS: Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming (Multivariate Applications Series) February 21, 2007
Great book, easy to read. It goes well as a companion book about SEM with a more mathematically heavy text. The author makes using AMOS easy! I've already shown my Professor something about AMOS he didn't know!
