DESCRIPTION Version 8.10 of the widely used LISREL program, extensively revised and updated by Karl G. Joreskog and Dag Sorbom. The core of the program retains its fast and fully dependable algorithms for estimating recursive and non-recursive structural equation models, both with error-free data and, when there are multiple indicators, with measurement error in exogenous and/or endogenous variables. Among the new features of version 8 are model exten- sions for analyzing ordinal, censored, and generally non-normal variables as well as a simplified syntax for mean-level models.
LISREL is accessed as lisrel8. For calculating sample correlation and covariance matrices from raw data, and for estimating asymptotic covariances, a companion program, prelis, is also installed on this system. More extensive information can be found in the man entries lisrel8 and prelis. LISREL(r) is a registered trademark of Scientific Software, Inc. PRELIS(tm) is a trademark of Scientific Software, Inc.
