Routledge Latent Variable Modeling Using R - Step-by-Step Guide

This step-by-step guide introduces R and latent variable modelling (LVM) to novices using a practical path model approach centred on the lavaan package. Written without matrix algebra, the book helps readers quickly grasp LVMs and perform their analysis in R through clear explanations of syntax reasoning and worked examples. The material covers applications across psychology, education, business, and social and health sciences, with minimal focus on abstract theory. Each example demonstrates how to analyse data for different LVM types, making this Routledge resource ideal for practitioners and students seeking hands-on instruction in statistical modelling without advanced mathematical requirements.
