This is Jeremy Miles’s (jnvm1@york.ac.uk) collection of path diagrams.

When I want to draw a path diagram, I find the one most similar to what I want, and I modify it. I then store it on a new page.

Please feel free to use these in your work, without royalty, or acknowledgement. If you want to send some files back to me with your new diagrams in, that would be nice.

Disclaimer: Nothing in any of these images is necessarily true, or correct. Some of the diagrams were created to illustrate a point. Some weren’t finished.
