v1.0.0 · Jul 2, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

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.
