Description: Takes Poisson or Binomial discrete spatial data and runs a
        Gibbs sampler for a variety of Spatiotemporal Conditional
        Autoregressive (CAR) models. Includes measures to prevent
        estimate over-smoothing through a restriction of model
        informativeness for select models. Also provides tools to load
        output and get median estimates. Implements methods from Besag,
        York, and Mollié (1991) "Bayesian image restoration, with two
        applications in spatial statistics" <doi:10.1007/BF00116466>,
        Gelfand and Vounatsou (2003) "Proper multivariate conditional
        autoregressive models for spatial data analysis"
        <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/4.1.11>, Quick et al. (2017)
        "Multivariate spatiotemporal modeling of age-specific stroke
        mortality" <doi:10.1214/17-AOAS1068>, and Quick et al. (2021)

        model" <doi:10.1016/j.sste.2021.100420>.
