    Dear Maria Paula,<br>
    <br>
    Good question (see below). Probably you have to specify
    Family=categorical. However, we've decided to leave out the bayesian
    functions from the next version of IPMpack onwards. Instead we will
    place the current functions (including makePostFecObjs) on the
    website for those people who want to write such code themselves. If
    you are interested in including uncertainty in your analyses you can
    also use the current functions getListRegObjects and
    getListRegObjectsFec in conjunction with makeListPmatrix,
    makeListFmatrix and makeListIPMs, getIPMoutput.<br>
    <br>
    best wishes,<br>
    Cory, Eelke<br>
