Covariance Structure Analysis of Linear Structural Models

Introduction

Covariance Structure Analysis of Linear Structural Models

The CALIS procedure (Covariance Analysis and Linear Structural Equations) in SAS/STAT software estimates parameters and tests the appropriateness of linear structural equation models using covariance structure analysis.

The CALIS procedure can be used to estimate parameters and test hypotheses for constrained and unconstrained problems such as

multiple and multivariate linear regression
path analysis and causal modeling
simultaneous equations models with reciprocal causation
exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of any order
three-mode factor analysis
canonical correlation
a wide variety of other linear and nonlinear latent variables models
