New R package released: Social Relations Model with roles (fSRM package)

Together with Lara Stas and Tom Loeys (Ghent University), and with a lot of help from Bill Cook and David Kenny, I prepared a new R package called fSRM. The package computes Social Relations Analysis with roles ("Family SRM"), using a structural equation modeling approach (the famous lavaan package by Yves Rosseel runs the models). Groups ranging from three members up to an unlimited number of members are supported and the mean structure can be computed. A delta method approach allows the comparison of means and variances between two groups of families, and a Wald statistic tests the hypothesis that actor or partner means are equal across roles.
