CALIS Procedure

The CALIS procedure now includes updates that were previously surfaced in the experimental TCALIS procedure. These capabilities include:

• new modeling languages such as LISMOD, MSTRUCT, and PATH

• multiple group analysis

• improved mean structure analysis

• general parametric function testing

• improved effect analysis

In addition, PROC CALIS introduces several experimental features, including the full information likelihood method (FIML), mean structure analysis with the COSAN model, unnamed free parameter specification, and an extended path modeling language.
