Direct linkLee, Sik-Yum; Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, John C. K. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2003
The existing maximum likelihood theory and its computer software in structural equation modeling are established on the basis of linear relationships among latent variables with fully observed data. However, in social and behavioral sciences, nonlinear relationships among the latent variables are important for establishing more meaningful models…

Law, Nancy; Lee, Yeung – Journal of Biological Education, 2004
Genetics is a difficult topic as it involves abstract concepts, which are not directly observable. Studies on using simulations to support the learning of genetics have largely been confined to the use of quantitative simulations to replace experimentation. This study describes the use of a new type of simulation built using an iconic modelling…
