Description: Fit Bayesian generalized (non-)linear multivariate
        multilevel models using 'Stan' for full Bayesian inference. A
        wide range of distributions and link functions are supported,
        allowing users to fit -- among others -- linear, robust linear,
        count data, survival, response times, ordinal, zero-inflated,
        hurdle, and even self-defined mixture models all in a
        multilevel context. Further modeling options include both
        theory-driven and data-driven non-linear terms,
        auto-correlation structures, censoring and truncation,
        meta-analytic standard errors, and quite a few more. In
        addition, all parameters of the response distribution can be
        predicted in order to perform distributional regression. Prior
        specifications are flexible and explicitly encourage users to
        apply prior distributions that actually reflect their prior
        knowledge. Models can easily be evaluated and compared using
        several methods assessing posterior or prior predictions.
