dclone: Data Cloning and MCMC Tools for Maximum Likelihood Methods

Low level functions for implementing maximum likelihood estimating procedures for complex models using data cloning and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo methods as described in Solymos 2010 <doi:10.32614/RJ-2010-011>. Sequential and parallel MCMC support for 'JAGS', 'WinBUGS', 'OpenBUGS', and 'Stan'.
