Fitting a Confirmatory Factor Analysis Model Using SAS PROC CALIS

We are now ready to begin using software to fit and test hypotheses about structural equation models.
In this lecture video we will see how to use the CALIS procedure in SAS to fit structural equation models. We will do this in the context of an example, in particular, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis modeling example.
Here's an outline of what we will be looking at in this video:
Review the steps involved in specifying a structural equation model.
Fit the SEM using SAS PROC CALIS.

Thank you Dr McCarter for simplifying SEM. I love the way you went through the steps before using SAS. I'm more confident now with solving a CFA.

Kevin, you did a very nice video for CFA model. I love it!

I'm getting an error that says "expecting a name" with this syntax. Do you know what may be the issue? Thanks!
