Various Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithms are implemented for item 
	response theory (IRT) models. The package includes IRT models for binary and ordinal
	responses, along with dynamic and hierarchical IRT models with binary responses. The
	latter two models are fitted using variational EM.  The package also includes 
	variational network and text scaling models.  The algorithms are described in Imai, Lo, 
	and Olmsted (2016) <DOI:10.1017/S000305541600037X>.

Processing tools to create emissions for use in numerical air 
  quality models. Emissions can be calculated both using emission factors 
  and activity data (Schuch et al 2018) <doi:10.21105/joss.00662> or using 
  pollutant inventories (Schuch et al., 2018) <doi:10.30564/jasr.v1i1.347>. 
  Functions to process individual point emissions, line emissions and 
  area emissions of pollutants are available as well as methods to 
  incorporate alternative data for Spatial distribution of emissions 
  such as satellite images (Gavidia-Calderon et. al, 2018) 
  <doi:10.1016/j.atmosenv.2018.09.026> or openstreetmap data 
  (Andrade et al, 2015) <doi:10.3389/fenvs.2015.00009>.

(2018) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2018.05.020>, Genetically Modified Mode Jumping Markov Chain Monte Carlo from Hubin, A., Storvik, G., & Frommlet, F. (2020) <doi:10.1214/18-BA1141>, Hubin, A., Storvik, G., & Frommlet, F. (2021) <doi:10.1613/jair.1.13047>, and Hubin, A., Heinze, G., & De Bin, R. (2023) <doi:10.3390/fractalfract7090641>, and Reversible Genetically Modified Mode Jumping Markov Chain Monte Carlo from Hubin, A., Frommlet, F., & Storvik, G. (2021) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2110.05316>, which allow for estimating posterior model probabilities and Bayesian model averaging across a wide set of Bayesian models including linear, generalized linear, generalized linear mixed, generalized nonlinear, generalized nonlinear mixed, and logic regression models.
