INLAvaan: Approximate Bayesian Latent Variable Analysis
Implements approximate Bayesian inference for Structural Equation Models (SEM) using a custom adaptation of the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation as described in Rue et al. (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x>. Provides a computationally efficient alternative to Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for Bayesian estimation, allowing users to fit latent variable models using the 'lavaan' syntax.
