Every publisher should ban the use of statistical software like Stata, R, SPSS, etc.! These tools have greatly facilitated academic misconduct such as p-hacking. Scholars should calculate the coefficients, standard errors, and t-statistics themselves using calculators. This would force them to truly engage in empirical work and raise the cost of p-hacking!
If you use an AI chat app you may have discovered that advanced apps like Claude, ChatGPT and probably some others that I haven't tried, know a lot about SEM and Amos. Asking a question about SEM or Amos often gets you the answer you need. You can also try a prompt like "Read https://t.co/xsECennspN and tell me ........"
That website contains Amos's online Help, Programming Reference, and User's Guide in an AI-friendly format. If the answer you seek is somewhere in the Amos documentation there is a good chance that your AI app will find it. For human-friendly documentation, look in https://t.co/MLvhdbet2g.
