Description: A general implementation of Structural Equation Models
	with latent variables (MLE, 2SLS, and composite likelihood
	estimators) with both continuous, censored, and ordinal
	outcomes (Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2013) <doi:10.1007/s00180-012-0344-y>).
	Mixture latent variable models and non-linear latent variable models
	(Holst and Budtz-Joergensen (2020) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxy082>).
	The package also provides methods for graph exploration (d-separation,
	back-door criterion), simulation of general non-linear latent variable
	models, and estimation of influence functions for a broad range of
	statistical models.
