Asymptotic expansions are made for the distributions of the Maximum Empirical Likelihood (MEL) estimator and the Estimating Equation (EE) estimator (or the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in econometrics) for the coefficients of a single structural equation in a system of linear simultaneous equations, which corresponds to a reduced rank regression model. The expansions in terms of the samp...

1. Structural equations modeling: Fit Indices, sample size, and advanced topics (130) Dawn Iacobucci This article is the second of two parts intended to serve as a primer for structural equations models for the behavioral researcher. The first article introduced the basics: the measurement model, the structural model, and the combined, full structural equations model. In this second article, ad...

Background: Academic motivation in students is one of the essential factors for academic achievement and growth of societies, which emphasizes the importance of examining academic motivation correlations. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the structural equation model of explaining academic motivation in students based on emotion regulation with the mediating role of academic self-effi...

This article is the second of two parts intended to serve as a primer for structural equations models for the behavioral researcher. The first article introduced the basics: the measurement model, the structural model, and the combined, full structural equations model. In this second article, advanced issues are addressed, including fit indices and sample size, moderators, longitudinal data, me...

widespread usage of web technology provides an opportunity for business in order to use internet as the tool for management of electronic relationship with costumers. organizations that undertake expense of investment in this field, one of their primary purposes is improvement of satisfaction of costumers. for this reason, in most of organizations which use the system of electronic relationship...

neighborhood attachment is closely related to concrete and abstract conceptions that set the scene for a variety of interactions among the residents. it is on the basis of social-physical location which happens over time. neighborhood attachment also enhances the possibility of residents’ social participation in urban neighborhoods and has a bilateral relationship with residents’ satisfaction. ...

A linear, aeroelastic analysis of a low aspect ratio swept back trapezoidal wing modeled as a cantilever plate is presented. An analytical and numerical formulation for both the aerodynamic forcing and structural response of the wing was developed. The analytical model uses a three dimensional time domain vortex lattice aerodynamic method. A Rayleigh-Ritz approach has been used to transfer equa...
