Description: Fits linear varying coefficient (VC) models, which assert
        a linear relationship between an outcome and several covariates
        but allow that relationship (i.e., the coefficients or slopes
        in the linear regression) to change as functions of additional
        variables known as effect modifiers, by approximating the
        coefficient functions with Bayesian Additive Regression Trees.
        Implements a Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampler to simulate draws
        from the posterior over coefficient function evaluations. VC
        models with independent observations or repeated observations
        can be fit. For more details see Deshpande et al. (2026)
