Package provides functions for estimation and inference in Bayesian quantile regression with ordinal outcomes. An ordinal model with 3 or more outcomes (labeled OR1 model) is estimated by a combination of Gibbs sampling and Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm. Whereas an ordinal model with exactly 3 outcomes (labeled OR2 model) is estimated using a Gibbs sampling algorithm. The summary output presents the posterior mean, posterior standard deviation, 95% credible intervals, and the inefficiency factors along with the two model comparison measures – logarithm of marginal likelihood and the deviance information criterion (DIC). The package also provides functions for computing the covariate effects and other functions that aids either the estimation or inference in quantile ordinal models.

Performs brace expansions on strings.  Made popular by Unix shells, brace expansion allows users to concisely generate certain character vectors by taking a single string and (recursively) expanding the comma-separated lists and double-period-separated integer and character sequences enclosed within braces in that string.  The double-period-separated numeric integer expansion also supports padding the resulting numbers with zeros.
