Description: The first stand-alone R package for computation of latent
        correlation that takes into account all variable types
        (continuous/binary/ordinal/zero-inflated), comes with an
        optimized memory footprint, and is computationally efficient,
        essentially making latent correlation estimation almost as fast
        as rank-based correlation estimation. The estimation is based
        on latent copula Gaussian models. For continuous/binary types,
        see Fan, J., Liu, H., Ning, Y., and Zou, H. (2017). For ternary
        type, see Quan X., Booth J.G. and Wells M.T. (2018)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1809.06255>. For truncated type or
        zero-inflated type, see Yoon G., Carroll R.J. and Gaynanova I.
        (2020) <doi:10.1093/biomet/asaa007>. For approximation method
        of computation, see Yoon G., Müller C.L. and Gaynanova I.
        (2021) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2021.1882468>. The latter method
        uses multi-linear interpolation originally implemented in the R
        package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=chebpol>.
