- | __Description__ | + | Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a statistical technique that is becoming increasingly popular |
- | An opportunity exists for a small number of students to build an autonomous motorboat using a RC motorboat as a base and integrating computation and control | + | |
+ | The software required is an application that allows researchers to define their hypothesized models visually and will output the correct syntax for the analytical software of their choosing. | ||

+ | To date a promising functional application has been developed in JAVA by a Computer Science student as a 4080 project. The existing software allows the user to draw a path diagram and outputs code for the R package sem. There are a number of improvements to be made (refinements and additions to graphical user interface) and then the application needs to be extended to output syntax appropriate for additional software applications (openMX, MPlus and EQS). Though this project may not begin at “the first stages” of the software lifecycle, this scenario is likely common in the software development market. In addition, the student will be working with a primary “client” who is far less technically advanced, which is also reflective of real-world situations. | ||
