abstract: A 'C++' reimplementation of 'poLCA' - latent class analysis and latent class
  regression models for polytomous outcome variables, also known as latent structure
  analysis. It attempts to reproduce results and be as similar as possible to the
  original code, while running faster, especially with multiple repetitions, by utilising
  multiple threads. Further reading is available on the Queen Mary, University of
  London, IT Services Research blog <https://blog.hpc.qmul.ac.uk/speeding_up_r_packages/>.
