pwSEM: Piecewise Structural Equation Modelling
Conduct dsep tests (piecewise SEM) of a directed, or mixed, acyclic graph
without latent variables (but possibly with implicitly marginalized or
conditioned latent variables that create dependent errors) based on
linear, generalized linear, or additive modelswith or without a
nesting structure for the data. Also included are functions to do desp tests
step-by-step,exploratory path analysis, and Monte Carlo X2 probabilities.
