Description: Perform hierarchical Bayesian Aldrich-McKelvey scaling
        using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo via 'Stan'. Aldrich-McKelvey
        ('AM') scaling is a method for estimating the latent positions
        of survey respondents and external objects on a common scale
        using positional survey data. The hierarchical versions of the
        Bayesian 'AM' model included in this package outperform other
        versions both in terms of yielding meaningful posterior
        distributions for respondent positions and in terms of
        recovering true respondent positions in simulations. The
        package contains functions for preparing data, fitting models,
        extracting estimates, plotting key results, and comparing
        models using cross-validation. The original version of the
        default model is described in Bølstad (2024)
        <doi:10.1017/pan.2023.18>.
