CFA & SEM

Humphrey Paulie
Dear Folks,
I'm under the impression that confirmatory factor analysis andstructural equation modelling almost perform the same functions. I was just wondering if this is true.I'd be appreciated for any comments as regards thesimilarities and differences between the two.
Cheers
Humphrey
