check_full_blockdiag

Replace a full with a block-diagonal variance covariance matrix
Check if a full random effects variance covariance matrix is specified
for a single variable. In that case, it is identical to a block-diagonal
matrix. Change the <code>rd_vcov</code> specification to <code>blockdiag</code> for clarity
(because then the variable name is used in the name of <code>b</code>, <code>D</code>, <code>invD</code>, ...)

internal

Joint analysis and imputation of incomplete data in the Bayesian
framework, using (generalized) linear (mixed) models and extensions there of,
survival models, or joint models for longitudinal and survival data, as
described in Erler, Rizopoulos and Lesaffre (2021) <doi:10.18637/jss.v100.i20>.
Incomplete covariates, if present, are automatically imputed.
The package performs some preprocessing of the data and creates a 'JAGS'
model, which will then automatically be passed to 'JAGS'
<https://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.io/> with the help of
the package 'rjags'.
