A Tool for Sensitivity Analysis in Structural Equation Modeling
Perform sensitivity analysis in structural equation modeling using
meta-heuristic optimization methods (e.g., ant colony optimization and others).
The references for the proposed methods are:
(1) Harring, J. R., McNeish, D. M., & Hancock, G. R. (2017)
<doi:10.1080/10705511.2018.1506925>;
(2) Socha, K., & Dorigo, M. (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.ejor.2006.06.046>.
We also thank Dr. Krzysztof Socha for sharing his thesis and R code,
which provided the base for the development of this package.
