seminrExtras (Python)

Python port of the seminrExtras R package: supplementary tools for evaluating and validating PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equation) models, built on the seminr estimation engine.

Every feature is validated for numerical parity against the R package on R-generated golden fixtures (1e-5 default tolerance; injected R random streams for resampling-based features).

Installation

pip install seminrExtras            # core
pip install "seminrExtras[plot]"    # + matplotlib for the plot layer
pip install "seminrExtras[pandas]"  # + pandas-friendly input

Requires Python >= 3.11 and seminr >= 0.2.1 (installed automatically).

Features

Mirroring the R package, evaluated over an already-estimated seminr model:

Usage

Specify and estimate a model with seminr, then evaluate it with seminrExtras:

from seminrExtras import assess_cvpat

result = assess_cvpat(model, nboot=200, seed=123)
print(result)              # readable table (R print parity)
result.summarize()         # detailed summary

# Plots (requires the `plot` extra):
from seminrExtras.plotting import plot
fig = plot(result)

Result objects are frozen dataclasses with a readable __str__, a summarize() method, and — via seminrExtras.plotting — matplotlib plots that mirror the R package's plot methods.
