Structural Equations with Latent Variables is a statistics textbook regarding Structural equation modeling[1] authored by Kenneth Bollen and published in 1989. It explores various topics in the statistics field, covering measurement validity and reliability, overall fit indices, model identification, causality, and the statistical software package LISREL.[2][3] Examples are provided from sociology, economics, and psychology to illustrate the practical applications of these methods.The book focuses on the examination of covariances rather than individual cases.[2] It is commonly used in graduate-level courses that focus on structural equation modeling within the social sciences.
