An assortment of helper functions for doing structural equation
  modeling, mainly by 'lavaan' for now. Most of them are time-saving functions
  for common tasks in doing structural equation modeling and reading the
  output. This package is not for functions that implement advanced statistical
  procedures. It is a light-weight package for simple functions that do simple
  tasks conveniently, with as few dependencies as possible.

Use inverse probability weighting methods to estimate treatment effect under marginal structure model (MSM) for the transition hazard of semi competing risk data, i.e. illness death model. We implement two specific such models, the usual Markov illness death structural model and the general Markov illness death structural model. We also provide the predicted three risks functions from the marginal structure models. Zhang, Y. and Xu, R. (2022) <arXiv:2204.10426>.

Hierarchical multistate models are considered to perform the analysis of independent/clustered semi-competing risks data. The package allows to choose the specification for model components from a range of options giving users substantial flexibility, including: accelerated failure time or proportional hazards regression models; parametric or non-parametric specifications for baseline survival functions and cluster-specific random effects distribution; a Markov or semi-Markov specification for terminal event following non-terminal event. While estimation is mainly performed within the Bayesian paradigm, the package also provides the maximum likelihood estimation approach for several parametric models. The package also includes functions for univariate survival analysis as complementary analysis tools.

Implements Multivariate ANalysis Of VAriance (MANOVA) parameters' inference and test with regularization for semicontinuous high-dimensional data. The method can be applied also in presence of low-dimensional data. The p-value can be obtained through asymptotic distribution or using a permutation procedure. The package gives also the possibility to simulate this type of data. Method is described in Elena Sabbioni, Claudio Agostinelli and Alessio Farcomeni (2025) A regularized MANOVA test for semicontinuous high-dimensional data. Biometrical Journal, 67:e70054.
