Abstract
The rate at which structural equation modeling (SEM) has grown over the past 30 years or so has been truly quite remarkable! At least one interesting offshoot of this escalation, however, has been the somewhat parallel growth of computer software capable of handling the statistical rigors demanded by the SEM methodology.
