make_dfa

Make the text string for a dynamic factor analysis expressed using
arrow-and-lag notation for DSEM.

Applies dynamic structural equation models to time-series data
with generic and simplified specification for simultaneous and lagged
effects. Methods are described in Thorson et al. (2024)
"Dynamic structural equation models synthesize ecosystem dynamics
constrained by ecological mechanisms."
