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. This package accompanies Shipley, B,

Analysis, StructuralEquations and Causal Inference (3rd
