Dear R-help, I am interested in using structural equation modeling. Just getting started with it, but I'm looking for suggestions for packages. As an aside, what's the best way for looking for packages at CRAN? -- Robert Terwilliger Biomedical Physicist Laboratory of Neurocognitive Development Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Loeffler Building 121 Meyran Avenue #114 Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412.383.8174 - Office 412.383.8179 - Fax em: raterwil at gmail.com http://www.wpic.pitt.edu/research/lncd/
There is the 'sem' package: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sem/index.html The task views (http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/) are often a good place to start when looking for particular techniques/methods.

Google is also good: searching for "CRAN structural equation models" took me to both the econometrics and psychometrics task views, among other things. Duncan Murdoh
There is a package in beta testing now that looks interesting: http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/installing-openmx -Ista On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 10:37 AM, Robert Terwilliger <raterwil at gmail.com> wrote:> Dear R-help, > > I am interested in using structural equation modeling. > > Just getting started with it, but I'm looking for suggestions for packages. > > As an aside, what's the best way for looking for packages at CRAN? > > -- > Robert Terwilliger > Biomedical Physicist > Laboratory of Neurocognitive Development > Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic > University of Pittsburgh Medical Center > Loeffler Building > 121 Meyran Avenue ?#114 > Pittsburgh, PA 15213 > 412.383.8174 ?- Office > 412.383.8179 - Fax > em: raterwil at gmail.com > http://www.wpic.pitt.edu/research/lncd/ > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Ista Zahn Graduate student University of Rochester Department of Clinical and Social Psychology http://yourpsyche.org
