Description: Fit latent variable linear models, estimating score
        distributions for groups of people, following Cohen and Jiang
        (1999) <doi:10.2307/2669917>. In this model, a latent
        distribution is conditional on students item response, item
        characteristics, and conditioning variables the user includes.
        This latent trait is then integrated out. This software is
        intended to fit the same models as the existing software 'AM'
        <https://am.air.org/>. As of version 2, also allows the user to
        draw plausible values.
