Der leitende Oberarzt der renommierten psychiatrischen Universitätsklinik wird ermordet im Wald aufgefunden. Vieles deutet daraufhin, dass der Täter in der Klinik zu suchen ist - unter den Mitarbeitern oder Patienten. Die Kommissare Wachtmeister und Merk tauchen tief in die Welt der modernen wissenschaftlichen Psychiatrie ein, um sich dem Mörder und seinen Motiven zu nähern. Nach und nach werden sie von Laien zu gewieften Kennern der psychiatrischen Geheimnisse. Sie lernen Krankheiten kennen, die in der Lage sind, einen Menschen zum Töten zu bewegen. Aber sie lernen auch, wie sich eine menschliche Persönlichkeit formt und was sie beeinflusst. Sie lernen, wie ursprünglich rein neurobiologische Prozesse des Gehirns schließlich zu menschlichen Leidenschaften, zu Angst, zu Neid und zu Zorn werden. Sie können die Welt und das Leben am Ende ihrer Ermittlungen nicht mehr durch die gleichen Augen betrachten wie zuvor.
Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a standard approach for analyzing complex inter-relationships between observed and latent variables. Researchers appreciate the many advantages of PLS-SEM such as the possibility to estimate very complex models and the method’s flexibility in terms of data requirements and measurement specification. This practical open access guide provides a step-by-step treatment of the major choices in analyzing PLS path models using R, a free software environment for statistical computing, which runs on Windows, macOS, and UNIX computer platforms. Adopting the R software’s SEMinR package, which brings a friendly syntax to creating and estimating structural equation models, each chapter offers a concise overview of relevant topics and metrics, followed by an in-depth description of a case study. Simple instructions give readers the “how-tos” of using SEMinR to obtain solutions and document their results. Rules of thumb in every chapter provide guidance on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM.
