  min_depth = 0,
  max_depth = length(candidates),
  a0 = 1,
  vd = FALSE
)

Arguments

min_depth	The minimum number of candidates which must be specified for a valid ballot.
max_depth	The maximum number of candidates which can be specified for a valid ballot.
a0	The prior parameter for the distribution.
