  <dc:title>Aggregated Latent Space Index for Binary, Ordinal, and
Continuous Data</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package alsi version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides three stability-validated pipelines for computing an
    Aggregated Latent Space Index (ALSI): a binary MCA pipeline
    (alsi_workflow()), an ordinal pipeline using homals alternating least
    squares optimal scaling (alsi_workflow_ordinal()), and a continuous
    ipsatized SVD pipeline (calsi_workflow()).  All three pipelines share
    a common bootstrap dual-criterion stability framework (principal angles
    and Tucker congruence phi) for determining the number of dimensions
    to retain before index construction.  The package is designed to
    complement Segmented Profile Analysis (SEPA) and is intended for
    psychometric scale construction and dimensional reduction in survey
    and clinical research.</dc:description>
