- Introduces the Bayesian approach to SEMs, including discussion on the selection of prior distributions, and data augmentation.
- Demonstrates how to utilize the recent powerful tools in statistical computing including, but not limited to, the Gibbs sampler, the Metropolis-Hasting algorithm, and path sampling for producing various statistical results such as Bayesian estimates and Bayesian model comparison statistics in the analysis of basic and advanced SEMs.
- Discusses the Bayes factor, Deviance Information Criterion (DIC), and $L_\nu$-measure for Bayesian model comparison.
- Introduces a number of important generalizations of SEMs, including multilevel and mixture SEMs, latent curve models and longitudinal SEMs, semiparametric SEMs and those with various types of discrete data, and nonparametric structural equations.
- Illustrates how to use the freely available software WinBUGS to produce the results.
- Provides numerous real examples for illustrating the theoretical concepts and computational procedures that are presented throughout the book.
