Description: The aim of 'postpack' is to provide the infrastructure for
        a standardized workflow for 'mcmc.list' objects. These objects
        can be used to store output from models fitted with Bayesian
        inference using 'JAGS', 'WinBUGS', 'OpenBUGS', 'NIMBLE',
        'Stan', or even custom MCMC algorithms. Although the 'coda' R
        package provides some methods for these objects, it is somewhat
        limited in easily performing post-processing tasks for specific
        nodes. Models are ever increasing in their complexity and the
        number of tracked nodes, and oftentimes a user may wish to
        summarize/diagnose sampling behavior for only a small subset of
        nodes at a time for a particular question or figure. Thus, many
        'postpack' functions support performing tasks on a subset of
        nodes, where the subset is specified with regular expressions.
        The functions in 'postpack' streamline the extraction,
        summarization, and diagnostics of specific monitored nodes
        after model fitting. Further, because there is rarely only ever
        one model under consideration, 'postpack' scales efficiently to
        perform the same tasks on output from multiple models
        simultaneously, facilitating rapid assessment of model
        sensitivity to changes in assumptions.
