What is BigSEM?

BigSEM is a collection of software programs for conducting SEM analysis with new types of data such as network data and text data.

How to install BigSEM?

BigSEM can be used either locally as R packages or online using our web app.

R Package

We have two R packages in the development stage that can now be installed from GitHub. The packages will be available on CRAN soon. The R package networksem can be used for SEM network analysis and the package TextSEM can be used for text analysis.

## Install the package for network analysis

Once logging in our web app, one can create a project and start to conduct the analysis. Note that we manage projects as files. One can upload, create, and delete files within the app.
