FreeSEM is a free, open-source desktop application designed for researchers and students to perform Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) for statistical and research analysis. It allows users to visually build models using a drag-and-drop interface to create path diagrams and analyze relationships between observed and latent variables. The software supports methods such as exploratory factor analysis, covariance-based SEM, partial least squares SEM, and meta-SEM, and it provides model fit statistics like CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR, and chi-square to evaluate models. It also enables exporting analysis results and reports to formats like Word, Excel, CSV, and PDF, making it useful for academic research and data analysis workflows.
