AMOS
Structural Equation Modeling
About AMOS
AMOS is an easy-to-use software package intended for structural equation modeling. AMOS stands for Analysis of Moment Structures and is a product of Smallwaters, Inc. AMOS provides you with powerful and easy-to-use structural equation modeling (SEM) software. You can create more realistic models than if you used standard multivariate statistics or multiple regression models alone. Using AMOS, you specify, estimate, assess, and present your model in an intuitive path diagram to show hypothesized relationships among variables.
Availability
AMOS works on Windows only. Faculty and staff of the University who have an office in Charlottesville where they work at least twice a week may obtain a license for AMOS for home or office use. The site-licensed version may only be used while you are employed by UVa. The DVD containing the program may be picked up from The Scholars' Lab in Alderman Library. There is no cost for the program.
Graduate students may obtain a license for a copy of AMOS that is installed on a University of Virginia computer in an office on-Grounds.
Students may purchase the Graduate Pack version of AMOS for home use from SmallWaters Corp (http://www.smallwaters.com); this version is licensed directly with AMOS and is not covered by the Virginia site license. Students may also access this program in the public computer labs.
Manuals are on the Installation DVD available from The Scholars' Lab in Alderman Library.
