Hi list, I am wondering if any of you know of a fairly comprehensive, but not too lengthy statistical explanation of path analysis. I have been reading CC Li's "Path Analysis- a primer", which I understand is the standard reference on the subject but am finding it long. It seems like the subject could be handled fairly thoroughly in more concise and yet still comprehensible way, and I am wondering if such a treatment exists. If not just for myself, I also need to find something to recommend to a (quantitatively minded) undergraduate on the subject, and she certainly will not have time to read the Li book.
I have also found there is some coverage of the subject in the Quinn and Keough stats book, but I am wondering what else is out there. Thanks for any thoughts, Gretel Clarke PhD student, UVM
