Description: Provides tools to conduct Monte Carlo simulations under different conditions (e.g., varying sample size, data normality) for structural equation models (SEMs).
  Data can be simulated based on user-defined factor loadings and correlations, with optional non-normality added via Fleishman's power method (1978) <doi:10.1007/BF02293811>.
  Once generated, models can be estimated using 'lavaan'. This package facilitates testing model performance across multiple simulation scenarios.
  When data generation is completed (or when generated data sets are given) model tests can also be run.
