Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a family of statistical methods designed to test a conceptual model. Some common SEM methods include confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis and latent growth modeling. If you’re interested in learning more about using SEM in Implementation Science, check out our Implementation Case Study.
