abstract: Provides Bayesian age estimation for bioarchaeological skeletal data using
  ordinal probit regression models implemented in 'JAGS' and 'NIMBLE'. The package
  is designed to handle multiple ordinal traits of adult individuals and incorporates
  a Gompertz prior on age to reflect population-level mortality. It accounts for estimation
  uncertainties and supports full customization of model parameters and Markov Chain
  Monte Carlo settings. For more details see Müller-Scheeßel et al. (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.70289>.
