Structural equation modeling : applications in ecological and evolutionary biology /

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical methodology which, in this book, is applied to biological research questions. The book will serve as a valuable resource for both learning and teaching the SEM methodology and is adapted to the statistical knowledge and background of the research b...
