Description: Provides functions for estimating Bayesian quantile regression 
            for ordinal models, calculating covariate effects, and computing measures for 
            model comparision. Specifically, the package offers two estimation functions - 
            one for an ordinal model with more than three outcomes. For each ordinal model, 
            the package provides functions to calculate the covariate effect using the MCMC 
            outputs. The package also computes marginal likelihood (recommended) and the 
            Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) for comparing alternative quantile regression 
            models. Besides, the package also contains functions for making trace plots of MCMC draws
            and other functions that aids the estimation or inference of quantile ordinal models.
