Getting Help

See our website at piecewiseSEM

There is an online resource available for SEM, including piecewiseSEM and lavaan, available https://jslefche.github.io/sem_book/

Version 2 is a major update to the piecewiseSEM package that uses a completely revised syntax that better reproduces the base R syntax and output. It is highly recommended that consult the resource above even if you have used the package before as it documents the many changes.

Currently supported model classes: lm, glm, gls, Sarlm, lme, glmmPQL, lmerMod, merModLmerTest, glmerMod. glmmTMB, gam

Example

# Load library
library(piecewiseSEM)

# Create fake data
set.seed(1)

data <- data.frame(
  x = runif(100),
  y1 = runif(100),
  y2 = rpois(100, 1),
  y3 = runif(100)
)

# Create SEM using `psem`
modelList <- psem(
  lm(y1 ~ x, data),
  glm(y2 ~ x, "poisson", data),
  lm(y3 ~ y1 + y2, data),
  data
)

# Run summary
summary(modelList)

# Address conflict using conserve = T
summary(modelList, conserve = T)

# Address conflict using direction = c()
summary(modelList, direction = c("y2 <- y1"))

# Address conflict using correlated errors
modelList2 <- update(modelList, y2 %~~% y1)

summary(modelList2)
