Abstract

ABSTRACT: JMP® Pro has introduced a new structural equation modeling (SEM) platform to its suite of multivariate methods of analysis. Utilizing their graphical user interface, JMP Pro has created a SEM platform that is easily navigable for both experienced and novice SEM users. As a new platform, JMP Pro does not have the capacity to implement certain modeling approaches (e.g., multiple-group, multilevel, and mixture models), but it supports many others (e.g., CFA, cross-lagged panel models, growth and difference models, and one-sample time-series). In the present review, strengths and limitations of the platform are detailed, and model features are demonstrated through two worked examples.
