Description: Bias-adjusted three-step estimation of latent class models with
    covariates and distal outcomes. The latent class measurement model is
    estimated first, with 'multilevLCA' (Lyrvall et al., 2025)
    <doi:10.1080/00273171.2025.2473935>, and held fixed; observations are then
    classified; and the classes are related to covariates and distal outcomes
    with the maximum likelihood correction of Vermunt (2010)
    <doi:10.1093/pan/mpq025> and Bakk, Tekle and Vermunt (2013)
    <doi:10.1177/0081175012470644>, or the correction of Bolck, Croon and
    Hagenaars (2004) <doi:10.1093/pan/mph001>. Standard errors account for the
    uncertainty of the measurement model (Bakk, Oberski and Vermunt, 2014)
    <doi:10.1093/pan/mpu003>. Includes class enumeration, modal and
    proportional class assignment, covariate formulas, Gaussian, Poisson,
    binomial, and multinomial distal outcomes, the two-step estimator of Bakk
    and Kuha (2018) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9592-7>, measurement models
    applied to new samples, and full-information maximum likelihood for
    missing indicators, standard methods for fitted models, and
    a data-generating process replicating the simulation design of Bakk and
    Kuha (2018).
