Description: Estimates latent Gaussian joint distributions for normal
        continuous, binary, and ordinal variables using marginal
        summaries from independent studies of a common population. Fits
        a pairwise Gaussian working criterion using exact summary
        moments, with study-level sandwich uncertainty. Supports
        prespecified independent groups, joint event probabilities, and
        synthetic patient generation. Identification requires repeated
        joint reporting of variable pairs; heterogeneous populations,
        rare categories, and small study collections require caution.
