Description: 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
