Description: Provides functions for the Bayesian analysis of some
        simple commonly-used models, without using Markov Chain Monte
        Carlo (MCMC) methods such as Gibbs sampling.  The 'rust'
        package <https://cran.r-project.org/package=rust> is used to
        simulate a random sample from the required posterior
        distribution, using the generalized ratio-of-uniforms method.
        See Wakefield, Gelfand and Smith (1991)
        <DOI:10.1007/BF01889987> for details. At the moment three
        conjugate hierarchical models are available: beta-binomial,
        gamma-Poisson and a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
