set_prior_val

Add prior values to Stan input for baggr

Running and comparing meta-analyses of data with hierarchical
Bayesian models in Stan, including convenience functions for formatting
data, plotting and pooling measures specific to meta-analysis. This implements many models
from Meager (2019) <doi:10.1257/app.20170299>.
