piecewiseSEM 2.0

New syntax

• All functions have been re-written from the ground up
• Incorporates new psem function and S3 objects
• All necessary information can now be obtained with a single function summary

Updated R[2] functions

• Extends to new distributions and model types using a single function rsquared

New standardization procedures

• Implements range standardization for all response types
• Adds multiple forms of standardization for binary responses, see ?coefs

NOTES

• Removed sem.plot function
• Removed sem.lavaan function
• groups= argument is currently broken but will be fixed in version 2.1 (see doc)
