Microcomputer-Resident Program for the Analysis of Structural Equations

Abstract

A microcomputer-resident program for the analysis of structural equations (PASE) has been designed to provide the causal modeler with all of the usually desired estimates of coefficients in recursive causal models. The program is interactive and self-documenting, and requires only a series of option selections by the user. Output includes all of the usual regression coefficients, plus total causal effects decomposed into direct and indirect causal effects.
