u_scale

Compute rank uniformization for a numeric array. First replace each value by
its rank. Average rank for ties are used to conserve the number of unique
values of discrete quantities. Second, uniformize ranks to the scale
<code>[1/(2S), 1-1/(2S)]</code>, where <code>S</code> is the number of values.

Provides useful tools for both users and developers of packages
for fitting Bayesian models or working with output from Bayesian models.
The primary goals of the package are to:
(a) Efficiently convert between many different useful formats of
draws (samples) from posterior or prior distributions.
(b) Provide consistent methods for operations commonly performed on draws,
for example, subsetting, binding, or mutating draws.
(c) Provide various summaries of draws in convenient formats.
(d) Provide lightweight implementations of state of the art posterior
inference diagnostics. References: Vehtari et al. (2021)
