Introduction
Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal contains
methodological articles as well as applications of structural modeling. It is
published by Taylor and Francis (http://www.tandf.co.uk).
Carl Ferguson and Edward Rigdon established an electronic mailing list called
Semnet to provide a forum for discussions related to structural modeling. You can
find information about subscribing to Semnet at

Many users of previous versions of Amos provided valuable feedback, as did many
users who tested the present version. Torsten B. Neilands wrote Examples 26 through
31 in this User’s Guide with contributions by Joseph L. Schafer. Eric Loken reviewed
Examples 32 and 33. He also provided valuable insights into mixture modeling as well
as important suggestions for future developments in Amos.
A last word of warning: While Amos Development Corporation has engaged in
extensive program testing to ensure that Amos operates correctly, all complicated
software, Amos included, is bound to contain some undetected bugs. We are
committed to correcting any program errors. If you believe you have encountered one,
please report it to technical support.
