Description: 
    Implements Gibbs sampling and Bayes factors for multinomial models with
    linear inequality constraints on the vector of probability parameters. As
    special cases, the model class includes models that predict a linear order 
    of binomial probabilities (e.g., p[1] < p[2] < p[3] < .50) and mixture models 
    assuming that the parameter vector p must be inside the convex hull of a 
    finite number of predicted patterns (i.e., vertices). A formal definition of 
    inequality-constrained multinomial models and the implemented computational
    methods is provided in: Heck, D.W., & Davis-Stober, C.P. (2019).

    Inequality-constrained multinomial models have applications in the area of 
    judgment and decision making to fit and test random utility models  
    (Regenwetter, M., Dana, J., & Davis-Stober, C.P. (2011). Transitivity of 
    preferences. Psychological Review, 118, 42–56, <doi:10.1037/a0021150>) or to 
    perform outcome-based strategy classification to select the decision strategy 
    that provides the best account for a vector of observed choice frequencies 
    (Heck, D.W., Hilbig, B.E., & Moshagen, M. (2017). From information 
    processing to decisions: Formalizing and comparing probabilistic choice models.
