- LISREL
LISREL, an
acronym for linear structural relations, is a statistical software package used instructural equation modeling . LISREL was developed in 1970s by Karl Jöreskog and Dag Sörbom, both professors ofUppsala University , Sweden. The most current version, as of 2008 April, is LISREL 8.8.Criticism
LISREL is mainly syntax-based and its
graphical user interface (GUI) is very hard to use. According to Donna Addis: "Although LISREL ... have a GUI that lets you draw the model, the GUI is cumbersome and it is worth using the scripting language for the program."
