[R] SEM/path question

[John Fox]

Dear Erin,

Although it's very old now, I like Duncan's Introduction to Structural
Equation Modeling (Academic Press, 1975); for a more complete treatment,
although it too is pretty old, Bollen, Structural Equations with Latent
Variables (Wiley, 1989). I have notes and other materials from a short
course on SEMs at
<http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Courses/Brazil-2008/index.html>. I feel
compelled to add that one should be very carefully about taking SEMs
seriously.

Regards,
 John
