Description: Functional differences between the cerebral hemispheres
        are a fundamental characteristic of the human brain.
        Researchers interested in studying these differences often
        infer underlying hemispheric dominance for a certain function
        (e.g., language) from laterality indices calculated from
        observed performance or brain activation measures . However,
        any inference from observed measures to latent (unobserved)
        classes has to consider the prior probability of class
        membership in the population. The provided functions implement
        a Bayesian model for predicting hemispheric dominance from
        observed laterality indices (Sorensen and Westerhausen,
        Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2020,
        <doi:10.1080/1357650X.2020.1769124>).
