MCt: Kizilkaya et. al. (2003) algorithm using Student's "t"...

In Bayesthresh: Bayesian thresholds mixed-effects models for categorical data

Description

The implementation follows Kizilkaya et. al. (2003) which presented a modification on Cowles (1996) algorithm that allows for using a Student's "t" distribution as link function for the latent variable.
