Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Preface; 1 Preliminaries; 2 From cause to correlation and back; 3 Sewall Wright, path analysis and d-separation; 4 Path analysis and maximum likelihood; 5 Measurement error and latent variables; 6 The structural equations model; 7 Nested models and multilevel models; 8 Exploration, discovery and equivalence; Appendix; References; Index

Written in a jargon-free, conversational style, this book explores the relationship between correlation and causation. It presents a series of statistical methods that can test, and potentially discover, cause-effect relationships between variables in situations in which it is not possible to conduct controlled experiments.
