abstract: 'Estimate complex Structural Equation Models (SEMs) by fitting Partial Least
  Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Partial Least Squares consistent
  Structural Equation Modeling (PLSc-SEM) specifications that handle categorical data,
  non-linear relations, and multilevel structures. The implementation follows Lohmöller
  (1989) for the classic PLS-SEM algorithm, Dijkstra and Henseler (2015) for consistent
  PLSc-SEM, Dijkstra et al., (2014) for nonlinear PLSc-SEM, and Schuberth, Henseler,
  Dijkstra (2018) for ordinal PLS-SEM and PLSc-SEM. Additional extensions are under
  development. The MC-OrdPLSc algorithm, used to handle ordinal interaction models
  is detailed in Slupphaug et al., (2026). References: Lohmöller, J.-B. (1989, ISBN:9783790803002).
