		Approximate Bayesian Latent Variable Analysis // Implements
		approximate Bayesian inference for Structural Equation Models
		(SEM) using a custom adaptation of the Integrated Nested
		Laplace Approximation (Rue et al., 2009)
		doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x as described in Jamil and
		Rue (2026a) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.25690. 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. See also the
		companion paper on implementation and workflows, Jamil and Rue
		(2026b) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.00671.
