============================================================
The ECAS 2007 session will give a general overview of the  
methodological and theoretical aspects of SEM, in the case of  
numerical variables (normal distribution or else)  as well as  
categorical and ordinal cases.
Most recent developments will be considered, and the PLS approach  
will receive attention, for models integrating formative as well as  
reflective constructs.

The audience of this ECAS Session are PhD students, substantive  
researchers, and methodologists in Marketing, in the economics, the  
social and the behavioral sciences, as well as biometricians and  
statisticians with interests in structural equation modeling.

It is assumed that the participants benefit of a good background in  
statistics up to and including multivariate analysis, and have been  
exposed to matrix algebra. Participants will learn modeling real data  
- eventually on their own WIFI compatible laptop -  but no previous  
acquaintance with one of the currently available software packages in  
Structural Equation Modeling is required.
