How do I include p-value and R-square for the estimates in semPaths?
I am using semPaths (semPlot package) to draw my structural equation models. After some trial and error, I have a pretty good script to show what I want. Except, I haven’t been able to figure out how to include the p-value/significance levels of the estimates/regression coefficients in the figure.
Can/how can I include significance levels either as e.g. p-value in the edge labels below the estimate or as a broken line for insignificance or …? I am also interested in including the R-square, but not as critically as the significance level.
This is the script I am using so far:
semPaths(fitmod.bac.class2,
what = "std",
whatLabels = "std",
style="ram",
edge.label.cex = 1.3,
layout = 'tree',
intercepts=FALSE,
residuals=FALSE,
nodeLabels = c("Negati-\nvicutes","cand_class\n_MB_A2_108", "CO2", "Bacilli","Ignavi-\nbacteria","C/N", "pH","Water\ncontent"),
sizeMan=7 )
Example of one of the SemPath outputs
In this example the following are not significant:
- Ignavibacteria -> First_C_CO2_ugC_gC_day, p = 0.096
- pH -> Ignavibacteria, p = 0.151
- cand_class_MB_A2_108 <-> Bacilli correlation, p = 0.054
I am a R-user and not really a coder, so I might just be missing a crucial point in the arguments.
I am testing a lot of different models at the moment, and would really like not to have to draw them all up by hand.
update: Using semPlotModel: Am I right in understanding that semPlotModel doesn’t include the significance levels from the sem function (see my script and output below)? I am specifically looking to include the P(>|z|) for regressions and covariance. Is it just me that is missing that, or is it not included? If it is not included, my solution is simply just to custom the edge labels.

Use semPlotModel to get the object without plotting. There you can inspect what is to be plotted. I just dug around without reading the docs until I found what it seems to be using.
After you run semPlotModel, the object has an element x@Pars which contains the edges, nodes, and the std which is being used for the edge labels in your case. semPaths also has an argument that allows you to make custom edge labels, so you can take the data you need from x@Pars and add your p-values:
x <- semPlotModel(modFile)

As you can see there are more edge labels than ones that are plotted, and I have no idea how it chooses which to use, so I am just taking the first four from each group (since there are four edges shown and the stds match those. Maybe there is an option to plot all of them or select which ones you need--I haven't read the docs.
## take first four stds from each group, generate some p-values
l <- sapply(split(x@Pars$std, x@Pars$group), function(x) head(x, 4))
set.seed(1)
l <- sprintf('%.3f, p=%s', l, format.pval(runif(length(l)), digits = 2))
l
# [1] "0.622, p=0.27" "0.566, p=0.37" "0.655, p=0.57" "0.461, p=0.91" "0.652, p=0.20" "0.588, p=0.90" "0.698, p=0.94" "0.462, p=0.66"
Then you can plot the object with your new labels, edgeLabels = l
layout(1:2)
semPaths(
x,
edgeLabels = l,
ask = FALSE, title = FALSE,
what = 'std',
whatLabels = 'std',
style = 'ram',
edge.label.cex = 1.3,
layout = 'tree',
intercepts = FALSE,
residuals = FALSE,
sizeMan = 7
