AMOS (Analysis
of Moments Structures) is a software which enables researchers to analyze the
inter-relationships among constructs having multiple indicators in a model.
Using AMOS graphic, the analysis is executed effectively, accurately, and
efficiently. And more importantly, the inter-relationships in a model are
computed simultaneously. Recently almost all established journal publishers proposed
the use of model in writing.
OBJECTIVE
The workshop will expose participants with the application of
Structural Equation Modeling or SEM, the Second Generation Statistical Method.
SEM is widely used by researchers to analyze the inter-relationships among
constructs in a model. Upon understanding the concept of SEM, the participants
will enjoy the hands-on guides on how to execute SEM using AMOS software, and
also how to interpret the results.
WHO SHOULD BE THE PARTICIPANTS?
Academicians, researchers,
scholars, consultants, postgraduate students, those who require SEM for their
data analysis
PRESENTER
Associate Professor Dr Zainudin Hj Awang is a lecturer of
Statistics and Quantitative Management in the Faculty of Computer Science and
Mathematics, UiTM Kelantan. He has been a lecturer since 1989 and a research
consultant since then. His main area of consultancy is Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM). He holds a B.Sc in Statistics from Iowa State, M.Sc in Applied
Statistics from Western Michigan and a PhD in Marketing from UMT. He has
published several books in his area of specialization. Among the books are
Business Statistics, Quantitative Business Analysis, Research Methodology,
Guides in Writing Research Proposal, Statistical Data Analysis, and Structural
Equation Modeling using AMOS. His lecture will be held practically, so please
bring along your laptops.
