In statistics, path analysis is used to describe the directed dependencies among a set of variables. This includes models equivalent to any form of multiple regression analysis, factor analysis, canonical correlation analysis, discriminant analysis, as well as more general families of models in the multivariate analysis of variance and covariance analyses (MANOVA, ANOVA, ANCOVA).

Typically, path models consist of independent and dependent variables depicted graphically by boxes or rectangles. Variables that are independent variables, and not dependent variables, are called 'exogenous'. Graphically, these exogenous variable boxes lie at outside edges of the model and have only single-headed arrows exiting from them. No single-headed arrows point at exogenous variables. Variables that are solely dependent variables, or are both independent and dependent variables, are termed 'endogenous'. Graphically, endogenous variables have at least one single-headed arrow pointing at them.

In order to validly calculate the relationship between any two boxes in the diagram, Wright (1934) proposed a simple set of path tracing rules,[4] for calculating the correlation between two variables. The correlation is equal to the sum of the contribution of all the pathways through which the two variables are connected. The strength of each of these contributing pathways is calculated as the product of the path-coefficients along that pathway.

Again, the expected correlation due to each chain traced between two variables is the product of the standardized path coefficients, and the total expected correlation between two variables is the sum of these contributing path-chains.

If the modeled variables have not been standardized, an additional rule allows the expected covariances to be calculated as long as no paths exist connecting dependent variables to other dependent variables.

Where residual variances are not explicitly included, or as a more general solution, at any change of direction encountered in a route (except for at two-way arrows), include the variance of the variable at the point of change. That is, in tracing a path from a dependent variable to an independent variable, include the variance of the independent-variable except where so doing would violate rule 1 above (passing through adjacent arrowheads: i.e., when the independent variable also connects to a double-headed arrow connecting it to another independent variable). In deriving variances (which is necessary in the case where they are not modeled explicitly), the path from a dependent variable into an independent variable and back is counted once only.

As we briefly saw above, another key feature of path diagrams are the arrows. The arrows on a path diagram can be single- or double-headed. They can also connect two variables, or just go between the same variable. Essentially, an arrow is a correlation between the variables being connected, and it is up to the designer of the path diagram to choose which variables to connect.

Single-headed arrows between variables on path diagrams denote a loading between a manifest and a latent variable. These are used when there is a suspected correlation between two variables. Typically, the significance of the loading values is that for every unit change in the first variable there is a change of the loading amount in the second variable.

The above picture illustrates how the model fits the loadings to each of the single-headed arrows in the diagram as well as the variance in both variables on the double-headed arrows. There are two types of loadings reported in JMP Pro, the standardized and unstandardized loadings. Unstandardized loadings are the default loadings given, and those are the loadings shown in the above diagram; these loadings reflect the magnitude of the data and therefore are equivalent to the coefficients in a regression model (check out my Discovery Summit presentation on "Exploring Basic Linear Regression Visually Through Structural Equation Modelling" for more details on this).

The key benefit to note here is that it is possible to recreate traditional modelling methods in SEM using the path diagrams, therefore making the analysis easier to view by displaying the variables and loadings in a visual format. By analyzing our data in this way, we may uncover relationships that may not be immediately obvious when using traditional analysis methods. One example of this is that we can easily see the contributions of each indirect and direct effect separately when we model our system using SEM. This provides immediate knowledge as to which correlations in our system are the most important to controlling other variables.

The problem is, or the problem we're having, is being able to pictorially demonstrate the paths we took throughout the chain of attack. We've taken a look at AttackForge but it's pretty certain that it'll be brushed away due to costs (even if it would be great to manage tests). Right now the team is screenshotting each step with some contextual explanation, which is fine, but ideally I would like us to be able to graphically represent what exactly happened from initial exploitation to reaching the goal of the assessment; rather than have only the screenshots, we could have the attack path graphics along with ATTCK as part of the Summary.

It's bugged me ever since I looked at the ADF exam blueprint that there still wasn't a definitive document or diagram available that described or showed the TCP Traffic Path and Order of Operations of a packet passing through an F5. I'm aware of the BigIP Path Graph v1.7 from Red Education but that's five years old and hasn't been subject to any review. To that end I've recently started my own as you can see below.

Hi, This is a great and very complete diagram. But I have a doubt: When a packet is processed it is first checked if an existing connection in Connection table exists, isnt it? And it would be great if you could add the Self IPs also to you diagram and the end of it that would be the DROP.

Receiving non-SYN packets for a connection which is not included in the connection table does not necessarily lead to the packet being dropped. There might be a fastL4 or TCP profile with loose initiation in place. But I also understand that reflecting all such possibilities in one diagram might be impossible...

Engineers looking at our issue have been leaning towards new security features in the 13 code that may be triggered along the path across the path. e.g. you have the ddos notes along this flow. I 'assume' there are newer things in the flow that the F5 Engineers were referring to.

I got discouraged earlier with this route because I was feeding the visibility graph vertices into A* as a vertex graph which would result in collision not being accounted for. By creating a line graph instead, this will force the path upon the non-colliding lines only.

Path analysis, a precursor to and subset of structural equation modeling, is a method to discern and assess the effects of a set of variables acting on a specified outcome via multiple causal pathways. Developed nearly a century ago by Sewall Wright, a geneticist working at the US Department of Agriculture, its early applications involved quantifying the contribution of genes vs. environment on traits such as guinea pig coloration and assessing whether temperature, humidity, radiation, or wind velocity had the greatest effect on transpiration in plants. Path analysis was slow to catch on in the world of biology, but in the second half of the 20th century found an avid following among social scientists and economists. Social and life course epidemiologists subsequently adopted the method as an effective way to distinguish direct from indirect effects and to test the strength of hypothesized patterns of causal relationships.

Path analysis is based on a closed system of nested relationships among variables that are represented statistically by a series of structured linear regression equations. As such, path analysis is bound by the same set of assumptions as linear regression, as well as some additional restrictions that describe the allowable pattern of relations among variables. Variables are either exogenous, meaning their variance is not dependent on any other variable in the model, or endogenous, meaning their variance is determined by other variables in the model. Exogenous variables may or may not be correlated with other exogenous variables.

Because path analysis involves the solution of multiple linear regression equations, the dependent variables for all equations must be approximately normally distributed and the relationships among the variables are assumed to be causal, linear and additive. Logistic regression equations, implying multiplicative relationships, cannot be substituted. Other curvilinear relations or interactions are also prohibited.

Managers, physicians and researchers need to study patient's path for purposes of management, quality of care and research. We present the proof of concept of the use of a flow diagram, the Sankey diagram, to visualize the trajectory of a population that experienced an event. This representation was tested with two case studies in populations from the anesthesia data warehouse of Lille University Hospital. For the 551 patients undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy, Sankey diagram helped us identify atypical care paths of patient being transferred too late in an intensive care unit. For 473953 patients who have had anesthesia procedure, Sankey diagram highlighted that mortality and re-operation rates increase with the number of operations. This preliminary work has been well received by end-users and allowed managers, physicians and researchers to visualize the paths of patients and to provide visualization support for research questions. This work will be followed by generalization. e24fc04721
