Barbara M. Byrne - Structural Equation Modeling with Mplus: Basic Concepts, Applications, and Programming

Sponsored by the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology, the goal of this series is to apply complex statistical methods to significant social or behavioral issues, in such a way so as to be accessible to a nontechnical-oriented readership (e.g., nonmethodological researchers, teachers, students, government personnel, practitioners, and other professionals). Applications from a variety of disciplines such as psychology, public health, sociology, education, and business are welcome. Books can be single- or multiple-authored or edited volumes that (a) demonstrate the application of a variety of multivariate methods to a single, major area of research; (b) describe a multivariate procedure or framework that could be applied to a number of research areas; or (c) present a variety of perspectives on a topic of interest to applied multivariate researchers.

There are currently 19 books in the series:
