calcium

<p>Bone Mineral Density Data consisting of 112 girls randomized to receive
calcium og placebo. Longitudinal measurements of bone mineral density
(g/cm^2) measured approximately every 6th month in 3 years.</p>

datasets

A general implementation of Structural Equation Models
with latent variables (MLE, 2SLS, and composite likelihood
estimators) with both continuous, censored, and ordinal
outcomes (Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0344-y>).
Mixture latent variable models and non-linear latent variable models
(Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy082>).
The package also provides methods for graph exploration (d-separation,
back-door criterion), simulation of general non-linear latent variable
models, and estimation of influence functions for a broad range of
statistical models.

calcium function

<p>A data.frame containing 560 (incomplete) observations. The 'person'
column defines the individual girls of the study with measurements at
visiting times 'visit', and age in years 'age' at the time of visit. The
bone mineral density variable is 'bmd' (g/cm^2).</p>
