abstract: Provides functions to estimate and interpret the alpha-NOMINATE ideal point
  model developed in Carroll et al. (2013, <https://doi.org/10.1111/ajps.12029>).
  alpha-NOMINATE extends traditional spatial voting frameworks by allowing for a mixture
  of Gaussian and quadratic utility functions, providing flexibility in modeling political
  actors' preferences. The package uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for
  parameter estimation, supporting robust inference about individuals' ideological
  positions and the shape of their utility functions. It also contains functions to
  simulate data from the model and to calculate the probability of a vote passing
  given the ideal points of the legislators/voters and the estimated location of the
  choice alternatives.
