Examples

data(keeley)

mod1 <- psem(
lm(rich ~ cover, data = keeley),
lm(cover ~ firesev, data = keeley),
lm(firesev ~ age, data = keeley),
data = keeley
)

# get type II Anova
anova(mod1)

# conduct LRT
mod2 <- psem(
  lm(rich ~ cover, data = keeley),
  lm(cover ~ firesev, data = keeley),
  age ~ 1,
  data = keeley
)

anova(mod1, mod2)
