Estimating and Testing Hypotheses about Means
E
Select Estimate means and intercepts.
Now the path diagram looks like this (the same path diagram for each group):
The path diagram now shows a mean, variance pair of parameters for each exogenous
variable. There are no endogenous variables in this model and hence no intercepts. For
each variable in the path diagram, there is a comma followed by the name of a variance.
There is only a blank space preceding each comma because the means in the model
have not yet been named.
When you choose
Calculate Estimates from the Analyze menu, Amos will estimate
two means, two variances, and a covariance for each group. The variances and the
covariance will be constrained to be equal across groups, while the means will be
unconstrained.
