    StructuralEquationModels.jl

    StructuralEquationModels.jl

    A fast and flexible Structural Equation Modelling Framework

    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.

    blavaan

    blavaan

    An R package for Bayesian structural equation modeling

    blavaan is a free, open-source R package for Bayesian latent variable analysis. It relies on JAGS and Stan to estimate models via MCMC. The blavaan functions and syntax are similar to lavaan. The development version of blavaan (containing updates not yet on CRAN) can be installed via the command provided in the documentation. Compilation is required; this may be a problem for users who currently rely on a binary version of blavaan from CRAN. The blavaan package depends on the lavaan package for model specification and for some computations. This means that, if you already know lavaan, then you should already be able to do many things in blavaan. In particular, many blavaan commands add the letter “b” to the start of the lavaan command. It is also sometimes possible to use a lavaan command on a blavaan object, though the results may not always be what you expect.

    Sound to Text

    Sound to Text

    Convert a sound file to text to analyze it

    Convert a sound file to text you can analyze to spot hidden words for psychological or universal-philosophical interpretation. The program will convert a sound file to text, with the purpose of analyzing it to spot intelligible words. Use the program with songs, movie or TV dialogue, private recordings, to reveal the hidden text messages of the sound. The resulting text will be a long string of mostly repeating characters but, every so often, you will notice an intelligible word, either spelled normally or with repeated letters, missing letters or anagrammed letters. It takes a little allegoric-Freudian psychological exegetic ability to elaborate the right chain of mind associations to infer a convincing interpretation of the resulting text. You may want to share the text with a psychologist to get a professional opinion on your interpretation, but sometimes the meaning will be surprisingly obvious.
