In this chapter, you will dive into creating your first structural equation model with lavaan. You will learn important terminology, how to build, and run models. You will create a one-factor model of mental test abilities using the classic Holzinger and Swineford (1939) dataset.

Saat bekerja dengan data, kita sering ingin membuat model untuk memprediksi peristiwa di masa depan, namun kita juga menginginkan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang bagaimana data saling terhubung atau terstruktur. Dalam kursus ini, Anda akan mengeksplorasi keterkaitan data menggunakan structural equation modeling (SEM) dengan bahasa pemrograman R melalui paket lavaan. SEM akan memperkenalkan Anda pada variabel laten dan manifes serta cara membuat model pengukuran, menilai akurasi model pengukuran, dan memperbaiki model yang kurang sesuai. Sepanjang kursus, Anda akan mempelajari himpunan data SEM klasik, seperti Holzinger dan Swineford (1939) serta Bollen (1989). Anda juga akan mengerjakan studi kasus model multi-faktor menggunakan Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. Setelah mengikuti kursus ini, Anda akan mampu menyelami data Anda dan memperoleh pemahaman yang jauh lebih mendalam tentang bagaimana semuanya saling terkait.
