Regression with an Explicit Intercept
Graphics Output
Below is the path diagram that shows the unstandardized estimates for this example.
The intercept of –0.83 appears just above the endogenous variable performance.
Modeling in VB.NET
As a reminder, here is the Amos program from Example 4 (equation version):
Sub Main()
Dim Sem As New AmosEngine
Try
Sem.TextOutput()
Sem.Standardized()
Sem.Smc()
Sem.ImpliedMoments()
Sem.SampleMoments()
Sem.BeginGroup(Sem.AmosDir & "Examples\UserGuide.xls", "Warren5v")
Sem.AStructure _
("performance = knowledge + value + satisfaction + error (1)")
Sem.FitModel()
Finally
Sem.Dispose()
End Try
End Sub
