Description: Functionality for performing a principled reference
        analysis in the Bayesian normal-normal hierarchical model used
        for Bayesian meta-analysis, as described in Ott, Plummer and
        Roos (2021) <doi:10.1002/sim.9076>. Computes a reference
        posterior, induced by a minimally informative improper
        reference prior for the between-study (heterogeneity) standard
        deviation. Determines additional proper anti-conservative (and
        conservative) prior benchmarks. Includes functions for
        reference analyses at both the posterior and the prior level,
        which, given the data, quantify the informativeness of a
        heterogeneity prior of interest relative to the minimally
        informative reference prior and the proper prior benchmarks.
        The functions operate on data sets which are compatible with
        the 'bayesmeta' package.
