Description: Provides methods for estimating minimal important change
        (MIC) and interpretation thresholds for multi-item
        questionnaires and single-item continuous or ordinal measures.
        Methods include predictive modelling, adjusted predictive
        modelling, improved adjusted predictive modelling using anchor
        reliability, confirmatory factor analysis for anchor
        reliability, longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis for MIC
        estimation, longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis-based MIC
        estimation for single-item measures, and confirmatory factor
        analysis-based threshold estimation for single-item and
        multi-item measures. Implemented methods include those
        developed by Terluin et al. (2015)
