Description: Generates data based on latent factor models. Data can be
        continuous, polytomous, dichotomous, or mixed. Skews,
        cross-loadings, wording effects, population errors, and local
        dependencies can be added. All parameters can be manipulated.
        Data categorization is based on Garrido, Abad, and Ponsoda
        (2011) <doi:10.1177/0013164410389489>.
