NAVAL·SEM Model Builder Canvas — drag-and-drop SEM canvas

Capabilities

Everything you need for SEM — and fsQCA

Visual Model Builder
Drag-and-drop canvas that auto-generates lavaan syntax. Undo/redo, PNG export, live canvas sync with the syntax editor.
PLS-SEM & CB-SEM
Full support for Partial Least Squares and Covariance-Based SEM (ML), plus WLS. Algorithm selector with bootstrap N control.
Measurement Validity
AVE, CR, Cronbach's α, Fornell-Larcker, HTMT, CVI, EFA, Nomological Validity, and Measurement Invariance (MICOM).
Robustness Methods
FIMIX-PLS segmentation, PLS-POS, Gaussian Copula endogeneity correction, NCA-ESSE sensitivity extension.
fsQCA Engine NEW v1.0
fuzzy-set QCA with calibration, necessity analysis, truth table, and Quine-McCluskey Boolean minimisation. Complex, parsimonious, and intermediate solutions.
APA 7 Reporting NEW v1.0
Export submission-ready Word (.docx) tables: measurement model, discriminant validity, structural paths, and indirect effects — all APA 7th edition formatted.
Multi-Group Analysis
HOC (Higher-Order Constructs), MICOM measurement invariance, and MGA engine for comparing structural paths across groups.
Conditional Process
Moderation, IPMA, NCA, and conditional process analysis (Hayes PROCESS Models 7, 14, 58/59) with bootstrapped indirect effects.
Export & Distribution
Export R/lavaan, Python/semopy, JASP code. PDF and APA Word reports. Available via SourceForge, Zenodo DOI, Microsoft Store, and AlternativeTo.
