title: Structural Equations with Latent Variables
author:  Kenneth A. Bollen 
description: A comprehensive introduction to the general structure equation systems--commonly known as the LISREL model--used for quantitative research in the social sciences. Unified approach presents path analysis, recursive and nonrecursive models, classical econometrics, and confirmatory factor analysis as special cases of a general model. Also discusses application of these techniques to empirical examples, including some LISREL and EQS programs.
