Moderated Nonlinear Factor Analysis

Conducts moderated nonlinear factor analysis (e.g., Curran et al., 2014, <doi:10.1080/00273171.2014.889594>). Regularization methods are implemented for assessing non-invariant items. The package includes undimensional factor models for dichotomous (1PL/2PL), polytomous (GPCM) and continuous (normal distribution) items.
