IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

In Amos Graphics:

1.Double-click the object whose parameters you want to name. (The Object Properties dialog opens.)

2.Select Parameters. (The dialog contains a box for each parameter associated with the object. For example, if you double-clicked an exogenous variable, there is a box labeled Variance. If means are explicit model parameters, there is also a box labeled Mean.)

3.Fill in each box with a parameter name.

In an Amos program, use the AStructure, Path, Cov, Var, Mean or Intercept method of the AmosEngine class.

Tip

One reason for naming parameters is to require them to be equal to each other. See To set parameters equal to each other.

If the Object Properties dialog is already open, you only need to click once on an object to name its parameters.
