Description: Functions to fit regression models for bounded continuous
        and discrete responses. In case of bounded continuous responses
        (e.g., proportions and rates), available models are the
        flexible beta (Migliorati, S., Di Brisco, A. M., Ongaro, A.
        (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-BA1079>), the variance-inflated beta (Di
        Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S., Ongaro, A. (2020)
        <doi:10.1177/1471082X18821213>), the beta (Ferrari, S.L.P.,
        Cribari-Neto, F. (2004) <doi:10.1080/0266476042000214501>), and
        their augmented versions to handle the presence of zero/one
        values (Di Brisco, A. M., Migliorati, S. (2020)
        <doi:10.1002/sim.8406>) are implemented. In case of bounded
        discrete responses (e.g., bounded counts, such as the number of
        successes in n trials), available models are the flexible
        beta-binomial (Ascari, R., Migliorati, S. (2021)
        <doi:10.1002/sim.9005>), the beta-binomial, and the binomial
        are implemented. Inference is dealt with a Bayesian approach
        based on the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm (Gelman,
        A., Carlin, J. B., Stern, H. S., Rubin, D. B. (2014)
        <doi:10.1201/b16018>). Besides, functions to compute residuals,
        posterior predictives, goodness of fit measures, convergence
        diagnostics, and graphical representations are provided.
