Description: Estimation of a multi-group count regression models (i.e.,
        Poisson, negative binomial) with latent covariates. This
        packages provides two extensions compared to ordinary count
        regression models based on a generalized linear model: First,
        measurement models for the predictors can be specified allowing
        to account for measurement error. Second, the count regression
        can be simultaneously estimated in multiple groups with
        stochastic group weights. The marginal maximum likelihood
        estimation is described in Kiefer & Mayer (2020)
        <doi:10.1080/00273171.2020.1751027>.
