Dear All,

In my research, I am developing a QOl SEM model using
major QOL paramters like economic status, Housing,
Education, health, social contacts as latent
variables. The main purpose of the model is to predict
the impacts of mine closure on QOL.

I want some suggestion,
How I can use the structural equations as multiple
regression equations for prediction?. How can I
calculate Latent variables in the final structural
model?.

One of the equations I am showing here

     HOSE = 0.98*WELT, (WELT= Latent variable)

x31 = 0.90*WELT
x32 = 0.91*WELT
x33 = 0.83*WELT
x34 = 0.85*WELT

In the above SEM equation how I can measure HOSE
value?

Thanks in advance
