Description: Implements approximate Bayesian inference for Structural
    Equation Models (SEM) using a custom adaptation of the Integrated
    Nested Laplace Approximation (Rue et al., 2009)
    <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x> as described in Jamil and Rue
    (2026a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.25690>. Provides a computationally
    efficient alternative to Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for Bayesian
    estimation, allowing users to fit latent variable models using the
    'lavaan' syntax. See also the companion paper on implementation and
    workflows, Jamil and Rue (2026b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.00671>.
