alsi: Aggregated Latent Space Index for Binary, Ordinal, and Continuous Data

Provides three stability-validated pipelines for computing an Aggregated Latent Space Index (ALSI): a binary MCA pipeline (alsi_workflow()), an ordinal pipeline using homals alternating least squares optimal scaling (alsi_workflow_ordinal()), and a continuous ipsatized SVD pipeline (calsi_workflow()). All three pipelines share a common bootstrap dual-criterion stability framework (principal angles and Tucker congruence phi) for determining the number of dimensions to retain before index construction. The package is designed to complement Segmented Profile Analysis (SEPA) and is intended for psychometric scale construction and dimensional reduction in survey and clinical research.
