		Tools for Dyadic Multilevel Models // Provides tools for dyadic
		multilevel modeling with linear and generalized linear mixed-
		effects models. It validates and prepares long-format cross-
		sectional and intensive longitudinal data, including ecological
		momentary assessment designs, for distinguishable and
		exchangeable dyads. It also supports datasets containing
		multiple observed dyad compositions. It constructs composition-
		aware, model-ready variables for Actor-Partner Interdependence
		Models (APIMs), Dyadic Score Models (DSMs), and Dyad-Individual
		Models (DIMs). Prepared data can be used with model engines
		such as 'glmmTMB' and 'brms' for Gaussian and non-Gaussian
		outcomes, including counts, proportions, and skewed continuous
		responses. Post-estimation tools compare compatible fitted
		models and back-transform exchangeable sum-and-difference
		random-effect covariance structures into member-level
		quantities. The APIM and DSM specifications and their
		relationships follow Iida et al. (2018)

		random-effects implementation for exchangeable dyads adapts del
