This document outlines the contents of a Quantitative Analysis II course taught by Jocelyn Donze. The course contains two parts: 1) data analysis techniques including principal component analysis to summarize data and exploratory factor analysis to determine underlying data structures, and 2) structural equation modeling to test if hypothesized data structures based on theory fit the data, using confirmatory factor analysis, path modeling, and full structural equation modeling. The course also provides a bibliography of relevant textbooks and lecture materials.

i. Summarize data (Principal Component Analysis: PCA). ii. Determine their underlying « structure » (Exploratory Factor Analysis: EFA) There is no hypothesized structure
2. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)
1. There exists a hypothesized structure (based on theory). i. Objective: Test if this structure fits the data. ii. Techniques : Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) ; Path modelling ; « Full » SEM.
