abstract: Carry out Bayesian estimation and forecasting for a variety of stochastic
  mortality models using vague prior distributions. Models supported include numerous
  well-established approaches introduced in the actuarial and demographic literature,
  such as the Lee-Carter (1992) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.1992.10475265>,
  the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1080/10920277.2009.10597538>, the
  Li-Lee (2005) <https://doi.org/10.1353/dem.2005.0021>, and the Plat (2009) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.insmatheco.2009.08.006>
  models. The package is designed to analyse stratified mortality data structured
  as a 3-dimensional array of dimensions p × A × T (strata × age × year). Stratification
  can represent factors such as cause of death, country, deprivation level, sex, geographic
  region, insurance product, marital status, socioeconomic group, or smoking behavior.
  While the primary focus is on analysing stratified data (p > 1), the package can
  also handle mortality data that are not stratified (p = 1). Model selection via
  the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) is supported.
