abstract: 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) <https://doi.org/10.1017/pan.2023.18>.
