Hayduk, Leslie; Cummings, Greta; Stratkotter, Rainer; Nimmo, Melanie; Grygoryev, Kostyantyn; Dosman, Donna; Gillespie, Michael; Pazderka-Robinson, Hannah; Boadu, Kwame – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Provides an introduction to the structural equation modeling concepts developed by J. Pearl, discussing the concept he calls "d-separation." Explains how d-separation connects to control variables, partial correlations, causal structuring, and even a potential mistake in regression. (SLD)

Robles, Jaime – Structural Equation Modeling, 1996
A theoretical and philosophical revision of the concept of fit in structural equation modeling and its relation to a confirmation bias is developed. The neutral character of fit indexes regarding this issue is argued, concluding that protection against confirmation bias relies on model modification strategy and scientist behavior. (SLD)
