#' @description Fitting Bayesian meta-analysis models via Rstan.
#'
#' @details To fit meta-analysis models using frequentist methods, there are many R packages
#' available including `metafor`. On the other hand, Bayesian estimation methods such as
#' Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) are very attractive for meta-analysis, especially
#' because they can be used to fit more complicated models. These include binomial-normal
#' hierarchical models and beta-binomial models which are based on the exact distributional
#' assumptions unlike (commonly used) normal-normal hierarchical model. Another advantage of
#' Bayesian methods to be able to use informative prior distributions for example to
#' regularize heterogeneity estimates in case of low number of studies. Thus, we developed
#' `MetaStan` which uses Stan (a modern MCMC engine) to fit several pairwise meta-analysis
#' models including binomial-normal hierarchical model and beta-binomial model. This package is
#' also the accompanying package of Guenhan et al (2020). Another important functionality of the
#' package is the model-based meta-analysis models.
