#' Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Negative Binomial Regression
#' Changepoint Model
#'
#' This function generates a sample from the posterior distribution of
#' a Negative Binomial regression model with multiple changepoints.
#' For the changepoints, the sampler uses the Markov Chain Monte Carlo
#' method of Chib (1998). The user supplies data and priors, and a
#' sample from the posterior distribution is returned as an mcmc
#' object, which can be subsequently analyzed with functions provided
#' in the coda package.
#'
#' \code{MCMCnegbinChange}simulates from the posterior distribution of a
#' Negative Binomial regression model with multiple changepoints using the methods of
#' Chib (1998) and Fruehwirth-Schnatter et al (2009).  The details of the
#' model are discussed in Blackwell (2017).
#'
#'  The model takes the following form:
#'
#' \deqn{y_t \sim \mathcal{P}oisson(\nu_t\mu_t)}
#'
#' \deqn{\mu_t = x_t ' \beta_m,\;\; m = 1, \ldots, M}
#'
#' \deqn{\nu_t \sim \mathcal{G}amma(\rho_m, \rho_m)}
#'
#'
#' Where
#' \eqn{M} is the number of states and \eqn{\beta_m} and \eqn{\rho_m}
#' are parameters when a state is \eqn{m} at \eqn{t}.
#'
#' We assume Gaussian distribution for prior of \eqn{\beta}:
#'
#' \deqn{\beta_m \sim \mathcal{N}(b_0,B_0^{-1}),\;\; m = 1, \ldots, M}
#'
#' And:
#'
#' \deqn{p_{mm} \sim \mathcal{B}eta(a, b),\;\; m = 1, \ldots, M} Where \eqn{M} is the number of states.
#'
#' The overdispersion parameters have a prior with the following form:
#'
#' \deqn{f(\rho_m|e,f,g) \propto \rho^{e-1}(\rho + g)^{-(e+f)}}
#'
#' The model is simulated via blocked Gibbs conditonal on the states.
#' The \eqn{\beta} being simulated via the auxiliary mixture sampling
#' method of Fuerhwirth-Schanetter et al. (2009). The \eqn{\rho} is
#' updated via slice sampling. The \eqn{\nu_i} are updated their
#' (conjugate) full conditional, which is also Gamma. The states are
#' updated as in Chib (1998)
#'
#' @param formula Model formula.
#'
#' @param data Data frame.
#'
#' @param m The number of changepoints.
#'
#' @param fixed.m A logical indicator for whether or not the number of
#'   changepoints in the sampler should be exactly equal to \code{m}
#'   or if that is simply an upper bound. Setting \code{fixed.m} to
#'   \code{FALSE} is equivalent to assuming a weak-limit approximation
#'   to a Dirichlet process mixture.
#'
#' @param burnin The number of burn-in iterations for the sampler.
#'
#' @param mcmc The number of Metropolis iterations for the sampler.
#'
#' @param thin The thinning interval used in the simulation.  The number of
#' mcmc iterations must be divisible by this value.
#'
#' @param verbose A switch which determines whether or not the progress of the
#' sampler is printed to the screen.  If \code{verbose} is greater than 0 the
#' iteration number, the current beta vector, and the Metropolis acceptance
#' rate are printed to the screen every \code{verbose}th iteration.
#'
#' @param seed The seed for the random number generator.  If NA, the Mersenne
#' Twister generator is used with default seed 12345; if an integer is passed
#' it is used to seed the Mersenne twister.  The user can also pass a list of
#' length two to use the L'Ecuyer random number generator, which is suitable
#' for parallel computation.  The first element of the list is the L'Ecuyer
#' seed, which is a vector of length six or NA (if NA a default seed of
#' \code{rep(12345,6)} is used).  The second element of list is a positive
#' substream number. See the MCMCpack specification for more details.
#'
#' @param a \eqn{a} is the shape1 beta prior for transition probabilities.
#' By default, the expected duration is computed and corresponding a and b
#' values are assigned. The expected duration is the sample period divided by
#' the number of states.
#'
#' @param b \eqn{b} is the shape2 beta prior for transition probabilities.
#' By default, the expected duration is computed and corresponding a and b
#' values are assigned. The expected duration is the sample period divided by
#' the number of states.
#'
#' @param b0 The prior mean of \eqn{\beta}.  This can either be a scalar
#' or a column vector with dimension equal to the number of betas. If this
#' takes a scalar value, then that value will serve as the prior mean for all
#' of the betas.
#'
#' @param B0 The prior precision of \eqn{\beta}.  This can either be a
#' scalar or a square matrix with dimensions equal to the number of betas.  If
#' this takes a scalar value, then that value times an identity matrix serves
#' as the prior precision of beta. Default value of 0 is equivalent to an
#' improper uniform prior for beta.
#'
#' @param e The hyperprior for the distribution \eqn{\rho} See details.
#'
#' @param f The hyperprior for the distribution \eqn{\rho}. See details.
#'
#' @param g The hyperprior for the distribution \eqn{\rho}. See details.
#'
#' @param beta.start The starting value for the \eqn{\beta} vector.  This
#' can either be a scalar or a column vector with dimension equal to the number
#' of betas. If this takes a scalar value, then that value will serve as the
#' starting value for all of the betas.  The default value of NA will use the
#' maximum likelihood estimate of \eqn{\beta} as the starting value
#'   for all regimes.
#'
#' @param P.start The starting values for the transition matrix. A user should
#' provide a square matrix with dimension equal to the number of states. By
#' default, draws from the \code{Beta(0.9, 0.1)} are used to construct a proper
#' transition matrix for each raw except the last raw.
#'
#' @param rho.start The starting value for the \eqn{\rho} variable.
#'   This can either be a scalar or a column vector with dimension
#'   equal to the number of regimes. If the value is scalar, it will
#'   be used for all regimes. The default value is a vector of ones.
#'
#' @param nu.start The starting values for the random effect,
#'     \eqn{\nu}. The default value is a vector of ones.
#'
#' @param rho.step Tuning parameter for the slice sampling approach to
#'     sampling \eqn{rho}. Determines the size of the step-out used to
#'     find the correct slice to draw from. Lower values are more
#'     accurate, but will take longer (up to a fixed searching limit).
#'     Default is 0.1.
#'
#' @param marginal.likelihood How should the marginal likelihood be calculated?
#' Options are: \code{none} in which case the marginal likelihood will not be
#' calculated or \code{Laplace} in which case the Laplace approximation (see
#' Kass and Raftery, 1995) is used.
#'
#' @param ... further arguments to be passed.
#'
#' @return An mcmc object that contains the posterior sample.  This object can
#' be summarized by functions provided by the coda package.
