Provides functions that allow for convenient working with vector space models of semantics/distributional semantic models/word embeddings. 
	Originally built for LSA models (hence the name), but can be used for all such vector-based models. 
	For actually building a vector semantic space, use the package 'lsa' or other specialized software. 
	Downloadable semantic spaces can be found at <https://sites.google.com/site/fritzgntr/software-resources>.

Provides a lasso-based method for building mechanistic models using the SAMBA algorithm (Stochastic Approximation for Model Building Algorithm) (M Prague, M  Lavielle (2022) <doi:10.1002/psp4.12742>). The package extends the 'Rsmlx' package (version 2024.1.0) to better handle high-dimensional data. It relies on the 'Monolix' software (version 2024R1; see (<https://monolixsuite.slp-software.com/monolix/2024R1/>), which must be installed beforehand.

Provides functions to simulate data from large-scale educational
  assessments, including background questionnaire data and cognitive item
  responses that adhere to a multiple-matrix sampled design. The theoretical
  foundation can be found on

Create lots of colorful plots in a plethora of variations. Try the LSD demotour().

Interfaces 'R' with 'LSD' simulation models. Reads object-oriented data in results files (.res[.gz]) produced by 'LSD' and creates appropriate multi-dimensional arrays in 'R'. Supports multiple core parallel threads of multi-file data reading for increased performance. Also provides functions to extract basic information and statistics from data files. 'LSD' (Laboratory for Simulation Development) is free software developed by Marco Valente and Marcelo C. Pereira (documentation and downloads available at <https://www.labsimdev.org/>).
