Description

A general implementation of Structural Equation Modelswith latent variables (MLE, 2SLS, and composite likelihoodestimators) with both continuous, censored, and ordinaloutcomes (Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0344-y>).Mixture latent variable models and non-linear latent variable models(Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy082>).The package also provides methods for graph exploration (d-separation,back-door criterion), simulation of general non-linear latent variablemodels, and estimation of influence functions for a broad range ofstatistical models.
