Overview
In “Structural Equation Modeling with IBM SPSS AMOS” we combine fundamentals and practice: you get to know Path diagrams, Confirmatory factor analysis and Model fit and fit indices, apply what you learn in exercises and receive templates and checklists for your own use.
Reliable decisions need sound data analysis. Our statistics courses combine methodological knowledge with confident use of SPSS, R, SAS, Stata, JASP, jamovi and Minitab. You learn to prepare data, choose suitable methods, check assumptions and interpret and report results correctly. Structural Equation Modeling with IBM SPSS AMOS is a one-day workshop with short methodological input and plenty of exercises on sample datasets. On request we work with data from your research or operations. You receive exercise files, syntax templates and a checklist for daily use.
The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
