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
