LISREL, AMOS and EQS
LISREL, AMOS, and EQS are three popular statistical packages for doing SEM. The first two are distributed by SPSS. LISREL popularized SEM in sociology and the social sciences and is still the package of reference in most articles about structural equation modeling. AMOS (Analysis of MOment Structures) is a more recent package which, because of its user-friendly graphical interface, has become popular as an easier way of specifying structural models. AMOS also has a BASIC programming interface as an alternative. See R. B. Kline (1998). Software programs for structural equation modeling: AMOS, EQS, and LISREL. Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment (16): 343-364.
