  <dc:title>Complex Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package plssem version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>
    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.
