piecewiseSEM: Piecewise Structural Equation Modeling in R

CRAN_Status_Badge

Version 2.3.0

Last updated: 02 December 2022

To install

Run the following code to install the development version:

# install.packages("devtools") # if devtools not installed

devtools::install_github("jslefche/piecewiseSEM@devel")

Getting Help

See our website at (piecewiseSEM)[http://jslefche.github.io/piecewiseSEM/]

There is an online resource available for SEM, including piecewiseSEM and lavaan, available (here)[https://jslefche.github.io/sem_book/]

This version is a major update to the piecewiseSEM package that usesa completely revised syntax that better reproduces the base R syntax and output. It is highly recommended that consult vignette("piecewiseSEM") even if you have used the package before as it documents the many changes.

It also incorporates new functionality in the form of coefficient standardization and updated methods for R^2 for mixed models.

Currently supported model classes: lm, glm, gls, lme, glmmPQL, lmerMod, merModLmerTest, glmerMod. glmmTMB, gam

# Store in SEM list

summary(modelList, direction = c("y2 <- y1"))

# Address conflict using correlated errors
modelList2 <- update(modelList, y2 %~~% y1)
