This video provides an introduction to path analyses (with the R package lavaan) from an applied perspective. The concepts in this lecture build upon those introduced in the previous lecture in the series (Multivariate Linear Models: https://youtu.be/2HJV4NGtXQU). The lecture is from the Multivariate Modeling Methods course (EDF 9780, Spring 2026) at Clemson University, taught by Jonathan Templin (https://jonathantemplin.com).
