+using 'Stan' for full Bayesian inference. A wide range of distributions and
+link functions are supported, allowing users to fit -- among others -- linear,
+robust linear, count data, survival, response times, ordinal, zero-inflated,
+hurdle, and even self-defined mixture models all in a multilevel context.
+Further modeling options include non-linear and smooth terms, auto-correlation
+structures, censored data, meta-analytic standard errors, and quite a few
+more. In addition, all parameters of the response distribution can be
+predicted in order to perform distributional regression. Prior specifications
+are flexible and explicitly encourage users to apply prior distributions that
+actually reflect their beliefs. Model fit can easily be assessed and compared
+with posterior predictive checks and leave-one-out cross-validation.")
