In adsoRptionMCMC: Bayesian Estimation of Adsorption Isotherms via MCMC

#' @title MCMC Analysis for Langmuir Isotherm Linear (Form 2) Model
#' @name mcmc_langmuirLM2
#' @description
#' Performs Bayesian parameter estimation using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to estimate the parameters of the Langmuir isotherm using its second linear form:
#' 1 / Qe = 1 / Qmax + (1 / (Qmax * b)) * (1 / Ce)
#' This method provides a probabilistic interpretation of the model parameters and accounts for their uncertainties.
#' It supports multiple MCMC chains and computes convergence diagnostics (Gelman-Rubin).
#' @param Ce Numeric vector of equilibrium concentrations.
#' @param Qe Numeric vector of adsorbed amounts.
#' @param burnin Integer specifying the number of burn-in iterations (default is 1000).
#' @param mcmc Integer specifying the total number of MCMC iterations (default is 5000).
#' @param thin Integer specifying the thinning interval (default is 10).
#' @param verbose Integer controlling the frequency of progress updates (default is 100).
#' @param plot Logical; if TRUE, trace and density plots of the MCMC chains are shown (default is FALSE).
#' @param n_chains Number of independent MCMC chains (default = 2).
#' @param seed Optional integer for reproducibility.
