Description: Facilitates the performance of several analyses, including
        simple and sequential path coefficient analysis, correlation
        estimate, drawing correlogram, Heatmap, and path diagram. When
        working with raw data, that includes one or more dependent
        variables along with one or more independent variables are
        available, the path coefficient analysis can be conducted. It
        allows for testing direct effects, which can be a vital
        indicator in path coefficient analysis. The process of
        preparing the dataset rule is explained in detail in the
        vignette file "Path.Analysis_manual.Rmd". You can find this in
        the folders labelled "data" and "~/inst/extdata". Also see:
        1)the 'lavaan', 2)a sample of sequential path analysis in
        'metan' suggested by Olivoto and Lúcio (2020)
        <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13384>, 3)the simple 'PATHSAS' macro
        written in 'SAS' by Cramer et al. (1999)
        <doi:10.1093/jhered/90.1.260>, and 4)the semPlot() function of
        'OpenMx' as initial tools for conducting path coefficient
        analyses and SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). To gain a
        comprehensive understanding of path coefficient analysis, both
        in theory and practice, see a 'Minitab' macro developed by
        Arminian, A. in the paper by Arminian et al. (2008)
