Monograph Series #3
Path Analysis From A Regression Perspective
By John D. Williams
Abstract: This little monograph on path analysis is addressed to a somewhat different group of readers than the typical presentation on path analysis. It is assumed that the reader has had at least a modicum of experience with multiple linear regression and the use of full and restricted models. It is presumed that the reader has read or is familiar with at least parts of one of the following texts: Bottenberg and Ward (1963); Kelly, Beggs and McNeil (1969); Ward and Jennings (1973); Williams (1974a); or McNeil, Kelly and McNeil (1975). On the other hand, no presumptions are made regarding prior background in path analysis.
