Fundamentals of SEM

CB SEM
To test model with reality
Works in correlational, works in covariance: its a full information approach- u disturb
one item others will get affected : difficult to get model fit
Mardiass Coeeficient

Variance Based SEM

How much predictors can predict your variable, how much your iV can predict your
DV
Theory development oriented you already have establish model, then you one to
add on new variable such as IV, Moderator or Mediator
Can used when data is not normal distribution/non normal data (test skewness and
kurtosis) not so stringent in accommodating non normal data.
Can accommodate large number of indicators
Because it works with partial info approach
