The data used in a linear structural equation model are the sufficient statistics (means, variances and covariances). Before any analysis this statistics have to be computed. This can be done with the program PRELIS which is included in the Interactive LISREL system.Interactive LISREL can read in an ordinary data matrix with rows for cases and columns for variables from many statistical programs
