Robust Test Statistics for Structural Equation Models

v0.9.0 · Jun 9, 2026 · GPL (>= 3)

Description

Supports penalized eigenvalue block-averaging and penalized regression p-values (Foldnes, Moss, Grønneberg, 2024) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2024.2372028>, including their extension to nested model comparison (Foldnes, Grønneberg, Moss, 2026) <doi:10.3758/s13428-026-02968-4>, as well as traditional p-values such as Satorra-Bentler. All p-values can be calculated using unbiased or biased gamma estimates (Du, Bentler, 2022) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2022.2063870> and two choices of chi square statistics. The tests apply to any minimum-discrepancy estimator -- ML, GLS, ULS, and categorical WLSMV/DWLS -- with experimental support for full-information maximum-likelihood (FIML) fits under missing data.
