Description: 
    Estimation of interaction (i.e., moderation) effects between latent variables
    in structural equation models (SEM). 
    The supported methods are:
      The constrained approach (Algina & Moulder, 2001).
      The unconstrained approach (Marsh et al., 2004).
      The residual centering approach (Little et al., 2006).
      The double centering approach (Lin et al., 2010).
      The latent moderated structural equations (LMS) approach (Klein & Moosbrugger, 2000).
      The quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) approach (Klein & Muthén, 2007)
    The constrained- unconstrained, residual- and double centering- approaches
    are estimated via 'lavaan' (Rosseel, 2012), whilst the LMS- and QML- approaches
    are estimated via 'modsem' it self. Alternatively model can be
    estimated via 'Mplus' (Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2017).
