论文摘要
由最近的一系列针对统计方法的相对价值用于分析社会科学中的统计方法的相对价值的动机，我们从主要的理论观点中讨论了基于常见的反射环境的路径建模和分析的基本方面。由于辩论中明显的技术支持很少，因此我们的目的是将其与主线统计文献联系起来，并解决可能有助于推动论述的所选基础问题。我们不打算提倡或反对特定的方法或分析哲学。
Motivated by a recent series of diametrically opposed articles on the relative value of statistical methods for the analysis of path diagrams in the social sciences, we discuss from a primarily theoretical perspective selected fundamental aspects of path modeling and analysis based on a common re reflexive setting. Since there is a paucity of technical support evident in the debate, our aim is to connect it to mainline statistics literature and to address selected foundational issues that may help move the discourse. We do not intend to advocate for or against a particular method or analysis philosophy.
