Fits Bayesian mixed-effects (multilevel) quantile regression models using the asymmetric Laplace working likelihood and Stan, with an lme4-style formula interface, one or several quantiles per call, optional LKJ-correlated random effects, post-hoc non-crossing rearrangement, and the Yang, Wang and He (2016) posterior-variance correction for valid fixed-effect inference.
