title: 'alsi: Aggregated Latent Space Index for Binary, Ordinal, and Continuous Data'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.alsi
abstract: '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.'
