TL;DR
Using a data set on lung ventilation, a number of alternative assumptions governing nondirected paths in structural equation models without latent variables are examined and compared.
Abstract
Using a data set on lung ventilation, a number of alternative assumptions governing nondirected paths in structural equation models without latent variables are examined and compared. Some problems with the conventional procedures in path analysis are pointed out, and alternative possibilities are suggested.

A study of 53 published applications showed that equivalent models exist routinely, often in large numbers and may often offer substantively meaningful alternative explanations of data.

The replacing rule is introduced as a simplification of Stelzl's (1986) four rules for the generation of recursive equivalent models, and generates equivalent models through the replacement of direct paths with residual correlations, through the Replacement of residual correlations with direct paths, or through the inversion of path directions.

The analytic process is explained, two computational algorithms (rules-of-thumb) are given, and an example involving feedback is detailed, and inclusion of feedback, and thus homeostasis, is an important feature of this presentation.
