Example 4
Endogenous variables are those that have single-headed arrows pointing to them; they
depend on other variables. Exogenous variables are those that do not have single-
headed arrows pointing to them; they do not depend on other variables.
Inspecting the preceding list will help you catch the most common (and insidious)
errors in an input file: typing errors. If you try to type performance twice but
unintentionally misspell it as preformance one of those times, both versions will
appear on the list.
ENow click Notes for Model in the upper left pane of the Amos Output window.
The following output indicates that there are no feedback loops in the path diagram:
Later you will see path diagrams where you can pick a variable and, by tracing along
the single-headed arrows, follow a path that leads back to the same variable.
Note: Path diagrams that have feedback loops are called nonrecursive. Those that do
not are called recursive.
Notes for Group (Group number 1)
The model is recursive.
