Fitting and evaluation of piecewise structural equation models, complete
with goodness-of-fit tests, estimates of (standardized) path coefficients,
and evaluation of individual model fits (e.g., through R-squared values).
Compared with traditional variance-covariance based SEM, piecewise SEM
allows for fitting of models to different distributions through GLM and/or
hierarchical/nested random structures through (G)LMER. Supported model
classes include: lm, glm, gls, pgls, sarlm, lme, glmmPQL, lmerMod,
merModLmerTest, glmerMod.

The primary
functions in the package are psem which unites structural
equations in a single model. summary.psem can be used on an object of
class psem to provide various summary statistics for evaluation and
interpretation.
