The main functions mirror the 'lme4' lmer() and glmer() interfaces (X/beta for fixed effects, Z/b for random effects, D for the random-effects covariance) while adding prior family specifications for Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and Gamma models with log-concave likelihoods. Sampling uses efficient two-block Gibbs sampling procedures with parallel chains and theoretically driven stopping rules. Gibbs sampling engines are provided by the 'lmebayesCore' package.
