semTools
Useful Tools for Structural Equation Modeling
Description
Provides miscellaneous tools for structural equation modeling, many of which extend the 'lavaan' package. For example, latent interactions can be estimated using product indicators (Lin et al., 2010, <doi:10.1080/10705511.2010.488999>) and simple effects probed; analytical power analyses can be conducted (Jak et al., 2021, <doi:10.3758/s13428-020-01479-0>); and scale reliability can be estimated based on estimated factor-model parameters.
