betaselectr: Do Selective Standardization in Structural Equation Models and Regression Models

(Version 0.2.1, updated on 2026-06-10, release history)

It computes betas-select, coefficients (betas) after standardization in structural equation models and regression models with only selected variables standardized. It supports models with moderation, with product terms formed appropriately (formed after standardization). It can also form confidence intervals that take into account the standardization appropriately.
