Summary
The following is a list of software programs useful for path analysis, structural equations modelling (SEM) or exploration of causal structures. The inclusion of a program in this list is not an endorsement; I have not even used many of the listed programs. Since new versions of these programs are constantly being produced, you should visit the Internet websites before choosing.
AMOS (a commercial structural equations program)
SmallWaters Corporation
1507 E. 53rd Street, no. 452
Chicago, IL 60615, USA http://www.smallwaters.com/amos
EQS (a commercial structural equations program)
Multivariate Software, Inc.
4924 Balboa Blvd, Encino, CA 91316, USA

LISREL and PRELIS
Scientific Software International
7383 N. Lincoln Avenue, Suite 100,
Lincolnwood, IL 60712–1704, USA

Mx (a free software program for structural equations modelling)
Mx is very complete but is not as user-friendly as the others and requires that the user enter command code. Both the program and the user's manual can be downloaded from http://views.usu.edu/mx/
Mplus (a commercial structural equations program)
11965 Venice Blvd, Suite 407
Los Angeles, CA 90066, USA
http://StatModel.com
CALIS – a procedure of SAS (a commercial statistical program of which CALIS is a procedure for SEM).
SAS Institute, Cary, NC 27513–2414, USA.
SEPATH – a module of Statistica (a commercial statistical program of which SEPATH is a module for SEM)
Statsoft, 2325 East 13th Street,
Tulsa, OK 74104, USA
TETRAD II (a program and manual for exploratory methods in causal modelling, some of which are described in Chapter 8)
