easyRaschBayes: Bayesian Rasch Analysis Using 'brms'

Reproduces classic Rasch psychometric analysis features using Bayesian item response theory models fitted with 'brms' following Bürkner (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i05> and Bürkner (2020) <doi:10.3390/jintelligence8010005>. Supports both dichotomous and polytomous Rasch models. Features include posterior predictive item fit, conditional infit, item-restscore associations, person fit, differential item functioning, local dependence assessment via Q3 residual correlations, dimensionality assessment with residual principal components analysis, person-item targeting plots, item category probability curves, and reliability using relative measurement uncertainty following Bignardi et al. (2025) <doi:10.31234/osf.io/h54k8_v1>.
