semEffect: Structural Equation Model Effect Analysis and Visualization

Provides standardized effect decomposition (direct, indirect, and total effects) for three major structural equation modeling frameworks: 'lavaan', 'piecewiseSEM', and 'plspm'. Automatically handles zero-effect variables, generates publication-ready 'ggplot2' visualizations, and returns both wide-format and long-format effect tables. Supports effect filtering, multi-model object inputs, and customizable visualization parameters. For a general overview of the methods used in this package, see Rosseel (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02> and Lefcheck (2016) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12512>.
