Wainer, Howard – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2010
In this essay, the author tries to look forward into the 21st century to divine three things: (i) What skills will researchers in the future need to solve the most pressing problems? (ii) What are some of the most likely candidates to be those problems? and (iii) What are some current areas of research that seem mined out and should not distract…

Use of Path Analysis and Path Diagrams as a Means of Understanding Regression, Factor Analysis, and Other Linear Structural Relations (LISREL) Models.
Phillips, Gary W. – 1982
The usefulness of path analysis as a means of better understanding various linear models is demonstrated. First, two linear models are presented in matrix form using linear structural relations (LISREL) notation. The two models, regression and factor analysis, are shown to be identical although the research question and data matrix to which these…

Some Comments on the Overidentification of Models in Structural Equation Modeling with Latent Variables.
Mulaik, Stanley A. – 1983
The overidentification of structural equation models with latent variables is discussed. The use of two- and three-indicator models is not recommended since such models do not allow a testing of the crucial assumption of unidimensionality among indicators in most cases. Models with four or more indicators may be more sensitive to departures from…

A Conceptual and Analytic Framework for Doing Applied, Policy Relevant Rural Sociology.
Miller, Michael K. – 1985
This report for researchers in rural sociology develops a conceptual and analytic framework for evaluating policies or programs through interrelated models. Three models--structural analysis, control programming, and simulation--allow researchers to assess policy/program impact, determine why expected impacts did or did not occur, and modify…

A Conceptual and Analytic Framework for Applied Policy and Evaluation Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Michael K. – Rural Sociology, 1986
Develops a conceptual and analytic framework for rural sociologists to document program results and consequences and to aid policy and program decisions. Addresses program/policy evaluation from perspectives of structural analysis, control programming, and simulation. Emphasizes dynamic, nonrecursive nature of evaluation processes. (LFL)

Path Analysis of a Theoretical Model to Describe the Relationship among Five Types of Musical Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McPherson, Gary E.; And Others – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1997
Surveys 101 wind instrumentalists to reveal major differences in the pattern of influences leading to the re-creative skill of performing a repertoire of rehearsed music for a formal examination compared to the creative ability of improvising. Uses a path analysis to determine links between the data and theoretical model. (MJP)
