		Bayesian Spatial and Space-Time Linear Mixed Models // Fits
		Bayesian linear mixed models for spatial and space-time data
		with fixed effects, independent and identically distributed
		(iid) grouped random effects, and structured latent processes.
		The formula interface supports first-order autoregressive
		(AR(1)) effects, dense Gaussian processes, nearest-neighbor
		Gaussian processes, proper and Leroux conditional
		autoregressive (CAR) effects, ordered directed acyclic graph
		autoregressive (DAGAR) effects, separable CAR-time and DAGAR-
		time effects, and spatially varying coefficients. The sampler
		uses sparse precision matrix calculations when available and
		includes post-fitting tools for latent process recovery, fitted
		values, prediction, pointwise log likelihoods, and posterior
		sample extraction. Method details include Datta et al. (2016)
