What are the programs which can be used for structural modeling?
I have used an AMOS previously but the trial period had run off, so are there any other available programs for the use which are free of charge?
thanks
I found R a little bit complicated and not user friendly
i will try JASP
JASP is one of the latest software and it is free. If you need any assistance you can contact
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is an analytical approach for testing a priori hypothesis on causal relationships among variables of interest. For doing the computational aspect of SEM, software packages such as AMOS, EQS, R lavaan, LISREL, or Mplus can be utilized. Since you are seeking a free SEM software, the lavaan package for R could be the one you go for. Here are some relevantly interesting reads.
