Description: A flexible framework for estimating factor models with
        multiple latent variables. Supports linear, probit, ordered
        probit, and multinomial logit model components. Features
        include multi-stage estimation, automatic parameter
        initialization, analytical gradients and Hessians, and parallel
        estimation. Methods are described in Heckman, Humphries, and
        Veramendi (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2015.12.001>, Heckman,
        Humphries, and Veramendi (2018) <doi:10.1086/698760>, and
