Description: Provides a Shiny application to conduct comprehensive
        analysis of latent means including the examination of group
        equivalency, propensity score analysis, measurement invariance
        analysis, and assessment of latent mean differences of
        equivalent groups with invariant data. Group equivalency and
        propensity score analyses are implemented using the 'MatchIt'
        package [Ho et al. (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v042.i08>],
        ensuring robust control for covariates. Structural equation
        modeling and invariance testing rely heavily on the 'lavaan'
        package [Rosseel (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i02>], providing
        a flexible and powerful modeling framework. The application
        also integrates modified functions from Hammack-Brown et al.
        (2021) <doi:10.1002/hrdq.21452> to support factor ratio testing
        and the list-and-delete procedure.
