Hello EVOLDIR members A reminder - Strengthen inference about linked evolutionary processes from complex observational evidence. Structural Equation Modeling with AI is a 2-day seminar livestreaming September 30 and October 2 with Michael Zyphur (Instats). Evolutionary researchers can use latent variable models to evaluate theoretical pathways across noisy or multi-indicator genetic and phenotypic data. R and Mplus examples develop confirmatory factor analysis, mediation, bootstrapping, latent interactions, and instrumental variable SEM. AI-supported workflows address code drafting, estimation diagnostics, interpretation, and clear documentation for empirical evolutionary studies. Details and registration: The seminar page includes the full schedule and registration details.
