Example 4
Endogenous variables are those that have single-headed arrows pointing to them; they
depend on other variables. Exogenous variables are those that do not have single-
headed arrows pointing to them; they do not depend on other variables.
Inspecting the preceding list will help you catch the most common (and insidious)
errors in an input file: typing errors. If you try to type
performance twice but
unintentionally misspell it as
preformance one of those times, both versions will
appear on the list.
E Now click Notes for Model in the upper left pane of the Amos Output window.
The following output indicates that there are no feedback loops in the path diagram:
Later you will see path diagrams where you can pick a variable and, by tracing along
the single-headed arrows, follow a path that leads back to the same variable.
Note: Path diagrams that have feedback loops are called nonrecursive. Those that do
not are called recursive.
Notes for Group (Group number 1)
The model is recursive.
