abstract: Performs exploratory factor analysis on language model embeddings of psychological
  scale items. Embeds item text with sentence transformers or other language models,
  transforms the embeddings into item-by-item similarity matrices, and extracts latent
  factor structure via standard exploratory factor analysis. Supports embedding-adapted
  parallel analysis, several similarity transforms (atomic reversed, SQuID centering,
  mean-centered Pearson), and fit diagnostics tailored to embedding matrices (TEFI,
  RMSR, CAF, McDonald's omega). The underlying methods are documented with full citations
  in the corresponding function help pages. Returns objects compatible with 'psych'
  and 'EFAtools' workflows.
