2 SEM The short story y = By + Γx + α + ζ Where: y, x, α and ζ are vector y and x may contain both latent and observed variables ζ is a vector of errors Cov(X, ζ) = 0 V. Wiggins (StataCorp) SEM for nonbelievers 2011 London UG 2 / 20

3 SEM The short story Where: y, x, α and ζ are vector y = By + Γx + α + ζ y and x may contain both latent and observed variables ζ is a vector of errors Cov(X, ζ) = 0 Some interesting things to note: y s can depend on other y s Ignore (mostly) the extensively published rumors that y, x, and/or ζ must be multivariate normal SEM subsumes and extends most linear models. V. Wiggins (StataCorp) SEM for nonbelievers 2011 London UG 2 / 20
