Amosはどのようなソフトウェアなのか?
Amos implements the general approach to data analysis known as structural modeling, analysis of covariance structures, or causal modeling. This approach includes as special cases many well known conventional techniques, including the general linear model and common factor analysis.
Structural modeling is sometimes thought of as an esoteric method that is difficult to learn and use. This is a complete mistake. Indeed, much of the importance of structural equation modeling lies in the ease with which it allows nonstatisticians to solve estimation and hypothesis testing problems that once would have required the services of a specialist.
Amos was originally designed as a tool for teaching this powerful and fundamentally simple method. For this reason, every effort was made to see that it is easy to use. Even complex structural equation models are specified and evaluated graphically, as path diagrams. Several intelligent drawing aids are built into the program to make graphical modeling easy. Beginners can refer to the tutorial in the Amos Users' Guide and learn to fit a first model within minutes.
Amos also incorporates the results of extensively testing a variety of numerical algorithms. The methods implemented in Amos are believed to be the most effective and reliable ones now available.
