title: 'calms: Comprehensive Analysis of Latent Means'
version: 1.0-3
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.calms
abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v042.i08>],
  ensuring robust control for covariates. Structural equation modeling and invariance
  testing rely heavily on the 'lavaan' package [Rosseel (2012) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v048.i02>],
  providing a flexible and powerful modeling framework. The application also integrates
  modified functions from Hammack-Brown et al. (2021) <https://doi.org/10.1002/hrdq.21452>
  to support factor ratio testing and the list-and-delete procedure.
