R4SEM – Strutural Equation Modelling with R

The Philosophy

We use R for Structure Equation Model (SEM) because we believe that R is the complete tools. R is open-source statistical environment with various packages supporting SEM analysis. It is free as in beer and in freedom so that we can enjoy it as drinking beer and as having freedom to to things we love.
