TEACHER'S CORNER: Structural Equation Modeling With the sem Package in R
Open accessAbstract
R is free, open-source, cooperatively developed software that implements the S statistical programming language and computing environment. The current capabilities of R are extensive, and it is in wide use, especially among statisticians. The sem package provides basic structural equation modeling facilities in R, including the ability to fit structural equations in observed variable models by two-stage least squares, and to fit latent variable models by full information maximum likelihood assuming multinormality. This article briefly describes R, and then proceeds to illustrate the use of the tsls and sem functions in the sem package. The article also demonstrates the integration of the sem package with other facilities available in R, for example for computing polychoric correlations and for bootstrapping.

“In this example, facilities in the boot package (which is associated with Davison & Hinkley, 1997, and is part of the standard R distribution) are used to bootstrap a model fit by sem , and in my polycor package (a contributed package on CRAN) to compute polychoric correlations among ordinal…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
