Description: Provides a 'brms'-like interface for fitting Bayesian
        regression models using 'INLA' (Integrated Nested Laplace
        Approximations) and 'TMB' (Template Model Builder). The package
        offers faster model fitting while maintaining familiar 'brms'
        syntax and output formats. Supports fixed and mixed effects
        models, multiple probability distributions, conditional effects
        plots, and posterior predictive checks with summary methods
        compatible with 'brms'. 'TMB' integration provides fast ordinal
        regression capabilities. Implements methods adapted from
        'emmeans' for marginal means estimation and 'bayestestR' for
        Bayesian inference assessment. Methods are based on Rue et al.
