Contemporary software commonly used to design stated preference experiments are expensive and the code is closed source. spdesignR is a free software package with an easy to use interface to make flexible stated preference experimental designs using state-of-the-art methods.
When parsing the utility functions, the function must make calls to create draws and parameter/prior distributions to pass out alongside the other parameters such that they can be used directly.
This would involve calls to make_random_draws and exctract_distributions. We would need to add a check for whether the distribution name includes a lower case p to separate priors from draws. There must be an indicator passed out so that we can separate out the levels of integration between priors and parameters (MIXL) model.
