3In brief
- SEM are used meta-analytical model formulated for
conducting Meta-analysis which is used to
analyse structural relationships. SEM can be
univariate, multivariate, and three-level
meta-analysis. Structural equation model (SEM)
in general optimized and fit by using OpenMx
package. The routine analysis of batch mode
either interactively or noninteractively can be
analysed by R package. Using the graphical
interface like R studio is convenient method for
users to interfere the analysis.
4Introduction
- A methodological tool used for comparing the data
of the studies obtained between two groups was
Meta- analysis. - SEM is A method used for analysing longitudinal
data. - A collection of functions via., R statistical
platform accessed by OpenMx package for
conducting meta-analysis using SEM is the metaSEM
package. - Meta-analysis can be conducted by various
unrelated programs for performing research in
scientific and social studies.
5SEM (Structural Equation Modelling)
The relation among measured variables and latent
constructs in the aspect of structural can be
analysed using SEM.
It also possesses the techniques like path and
factor analysis, regression and latent growth
curve modelling for solving linear equations.
It is a single analysis technique used for
estimating interrelated dependence and multiple
factors. Endo and exogenous variables can be
used simultaneously in SEM.
6Structural Equation Modelling Based Meta Analysis
A hypothesis can be tested and fit with the
multivariate technique using the SEM model. It
is postulated that the model for the first which
includes the vector of parameters that can
be regression coefficients, error variances,
factor loadings, and factor variances. The model
is µµ(?) and SS(?) where µ and S are the
vector of mean population and covariance
matrix. The most common method for estimating
method in SEM is Maximum likelihood (ML)
estimation method. The -2log-likelihood (-2LL)
for the ith case is, Contd..
