[R] Is SEM package of R suitable for sem analysis

[Bruno Falissard]

A few years ago it could have been true, but now the package has improved
(especially with the bootstrap procedure).
At the moment there is no argument to recommend AMOS.
Of course, some software like Mplus are actually better, but very
specialized (and rather expensive).
This is only a personal point of view.

Objet : [R] Is SEM package of R suitable for sem analysis


Dears,

I'm a college student and In doing my statistics homework.

I use R with SEM package as my tool for sem analysis,
but my teacher told me AMOS is more suitable for such analysis.

Could someone help tell me whether it is true
that some commercial software is better accepted in academic fields?

Sorry if I should not post such topics here.
