Structural Equation Modelling Using AMOS

Structural Equation Modelling Using AMOS
August 23-27, 2021
Resource Person: Academic experts of IIHMR as well as industry experts
Mode: Online

Background

This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the structural equation modelling (SEM) using IBM SPSS AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures). The learners will familiarise themselves with the interface, tools and various practical illustration features of Amos. The learners will be able to use is a powerful structural equation modelling (SEM) software which helps to boost research and theories. The learners will learn diverse statistical techniques such as path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, causal modelling with latent variables and standard multivariate analysis methods, including regression, factor analysis, correlation and analysis of variance. Build attitudinal and behavioural models reflecting complex relationships more accurately than with standard multivariate statistics techniques. IIHMR University, Jaipur announces Management Development Program on ‘Structural Equation Modelling Using AMOS’ in online mode from August 23-27, 2021.

Prerequisites

Trial version of Amos is to be uploaded before the course begins. The learner must already know how to conduct a multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS or a similar general statistical software package. You should also understand how to interpret the output from a multiple linear regression analysis. Finally, you should understand basic Microsoft Windows navigation operations: opening files and folders, saving your work, recalling previously saved work, etc.

Program Objectives

  • To learn the basics of AMOS
  • To understand logic of SEM and its nomenclature
  • To learn the assumptions for SEM
  • To build and test a model using AMOS graphics.
  • To interpret the AMOS output

Program Outcomes

After the successful completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

  • This program develops a strong conceptual and an analytical understanding of the logic of AMOS and SEM
  • Learners will be able to perform SEM analyses using AMOS
  • This Program develops an appreciation for the types of research questions appropriate to SEM and an overview of the assumptions underlying SEM methods.
  • Learners will be able to fit structural equation models using AMOS to boost their theories and research

Pedagogy

  • The program will be delivered through Zoom/Microsoft Teams. The login credentials will be shared a day before the commencement.
  • The program will be delivered in hands-on delivery mode where after the discussion on each topic, the participants will be given sample datasets for further practice.
  • The participants will be provided with ppts, datasets, and related material.
  • The participants are encouraged to bring their own datasets and research problems also for discussion.
  • The e-certificates will be given to the participants at the end of the program.
  • Trainers will be available on WhatsApp, Phone and e-mail for ongoing query resolution

Potential Beneficiaries

  • Faculty members & research scholars of different institutes
  • Executives and managers of different industries
  • Others who are keen to learn data analytics
