sim_normal.with.nesting

sim_normal.with.nesting:
Simulated data with correlated errors involving endogenous
variables, normally-distributed data and without any grouping structure
Data generated using this mixed acyclic graph:
X1-&gt;X2-&gt;X3-&gt;X4 and X2&lt;-&gt;X4

datasets

Conduct dsep tests (piecewise SEM) of a directed, or mixed, acyclic graph
without latent variables (but possibly with implicitly marginalized or
conditioned latent variables that create dependent errors) based on
linear, generalized linear, or additive modelswith or without a
nesting structure for the data. Also included are functions to do desp tests
step-by-step,exploratory path analysis, and Monte Carlo X2 probabilities.
