poLCAParallel: Polytomous Variable Latent Class Analysis Parallel

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.
