  <dc:description>Provides miscellaneous tools for structural equation modeling, 
             many of which extend the 'lavaan' package. For example, latent
             interactions can be estimated using product indicators (Lin et al.,
             2010, &lt;doi:10.1080/10705511.2010.488999&gt;) and simple effects probed;
             analytical power analyses can be conducted (Jak et al., 2021,
             &lt;doi:10.3758/s13428-020-01479-0&gt;); and scale reliability
             can be estimated based on estimated factor-model parameters.</dc:description>
