use inverse-logit transform in BYM2 model #10

Closed ConnorDonegan closed 1 year ago

The BYM2 model in stan_icar implements the model from: Morris et al "Bayesian hierarchical spatial models: Implementing the Besag York Mollié model in stan." They apply a normal prior to the logit-transformed 'mixing' parameter rho; geostan assigns a uniform prior to rho directly.
