This is a package for Structural Equation Modeling in development. It is written for extensibility, that is, you can easily define your own objective functions and other parts of the model. At the same time, it is (very) fast. We provide fast objective functions, gradients, and for some cases hessians as well as approximations thereof. As a user, you can easily define custom loss functions. For those, you can decide to provide analytical gradients or use finite difference approximation / automatic differentiation. You can choose to mix loss functions natively found in this package and those you provide. In such cases, you optimize over a sum of different objectives (e.g. ML + Ridge). This strategy also applies to gradients, where you may supply analytic gradients or opt for automatic differentiation or mixed analytical and automatic differentiation. You may consider using this package if you need extensibility and/or speed, and if you want to extend SEM.

This script helps organizations to make polls of different types of positions with a number of candidates under each position. The script is not very stable and the code is still rough. Installation: i. Download the script and unzip it to your localhost or web server. Works best with Wamp server. ii. Import polling3.sql from the dbBackups folder in the admin folder. Use phpMyAdmin in this case or together with cPanel for online server. iii. Add login.html into the Apache configuration file to enable direct redirection to the system. If you don't know the config file, Google for more info about this!!! v. You're done! Hooray!!! Now you can test drive the system. Username: admin, Password: admin, URL: http://localhost/yoursite/admin; For the admin section. The rest is in the database tables. NB: Please use the "External Link" menus above to support this project in one way or another. PM me for other means. Any kind of support will be very much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
