## Setting up dummy sampling for fast execution of example
## Please use 4 chains and 20x more warmup & iter in practice
.user_mc_options <- options(RBesT.MC.warmup=50, RBesT.MC.iter=100,
                            RBesT.MC.chains=2, RBesT.MC.thin=1)

set.seed(546346)

                  family=gaussian,
                  data=transform(crohn, y.se=88/sqrt(n)),
