-for multivariate analysis and scale construction using factor analysis,
-principal component analysis, cluster analysis and reliability analysis,
-although others provide basic descriptive statistics.  It provides functions
-for analyzing data at multiple levels within and between group statistics,
-including correlations and factor analysis; functions for simulating and
-testing particular item and test structures are included.  Several functions
-serve as a useful front end for structural equation modeling.")
