#' \code{qrjm} fits quantile regression joint model
#'
#' Function using JAGS via jagsUI package to estimate the quantile regression joint model assuming asymmetric Laplace distribution for residual error.
#' Joint modeling concerns longitudinal data and time-to-event
#'
#'
#' @param formFixed formula for fixed part of longitudinal submodel with response variable
#' @param formRandom formula for random part of longitudinal submodel without response variable
#' @param formGroup formula specifying the cluster variable (e.g. = ~ subject)
#' @param formSurv survival formula as formula in survival package for latency submodel
#' @param survMod specifying the baseline risk function for Cox proportional hazard model (only "weibull" is available until now)
#' @param param shared association including in joint modeling: the classical shared random effects or the current value denoting by "sharedRE" (default) or "value", respectively.
#' @param timeVar string specify the names of time variable (time of repeated measurements)
#' @param data dataset of observed variables
#' @param tau the quantile(s) to be estimated. This must be a number between 0 and 1, otherwise the execution is stopped. If more than one quantile is specified, rounding off to the 4th decimal must give non–duplicated values of \code{tau}, otherwise the execution is stopped.
#' @param RE_ind Boolean denoting if the random effects are assumed independent ; default is \code{FALSE}
#' @param n.chains the number of parallel chains for the model; default is 1.
#' @param n.iter integer specifying the total number of iterations; default is 10000
#' @param n.burnin integer specifying how many of n.iter to discard as burn-in ; default is 5000
#' @param n.thin integer specifying the thinning of the chains; default is 1
#' @param n.adapt integer specifying the number of iterations to use for adaptation; default is 5000
#' @param precision variance by default for vague prior distribution
#' @param C value used in the zero trick; default is 1000.
#' @param save_va If TRUE (is FALSE by default), the draws of auxilary variable W is returned by the function
#' @param save_jagsUI If TRUE (by default), the output of jagsUI package is returned by the function
#' @param parallel see jagsUI::jags() function
#'
#'
#' @return A \code{BQt} object is a list with the following elements:
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{mean}}{list of posterior mean for each parameter}
#' \item{\code{median}}{list of posterior median for each parameter}
#' \item{\code{modes}}{list of posterior mode for each parameter}
#' \item{\code{StErr}}{list of standard error for each parameter}
#' \item{\code{StDev}}{list of standard deviation for each parameter}
#' \item{\code{ICs}}{list of the credibility interval at 0.95 for each parameters excepted for covariance parameters in covariance matrix of random effects. Otherwise, use save_jagsUI=TRUE to have the associated quantiles.}
#' \item{\code{data}}{data included in argument}
#' \item{\code{sims.list}}{list of the MCMC chains of the parameters and random effects}
#' \item{\code{control}}{list of arguments giving details about the estimation}
#' \item{\code{random_effect}}{list for each quantile including both posterior mean and posterior standard deviation of subject-specific random effects}
#' \item{\code{out_jagsUI}}{only if \code{save_jagsUI=TRUE} in argument: list including posterior mean, median, quantiles (2.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 97.5%), standart deviation for each parameter and each random effect.
#' Moreover, this list also returns the MCMC draws, the Gelman and Rubin diagnostics (see output of jagsUI objects)}
