How to Specify Formative Models in LISREL
LISREL (Linear Structural Relations) is a software package used for statistical modeling. Using the LISREL suite of software, you can model data sets in a variety of ways. The program has expanded recently, so that LISREL is now a software suite that includes seven different tools. This can make it difficult to figure out how to specify a formative model, since the program titled LISREL no longer handles this. However, it’s as simple as ever; you just need to open the right tool.
