+ (description
+ "This package provides an implementation of efficient approximate
+@dfn{leave-one-out} (LOO) cross-validation for Bayesian models fit using
+Markov chain Monte Carlo, as described in @url{doi:10.1007/s11222-016-9696-4}.
+The approximation uses @dfn{Pareto smoothed importance sampling} (PSIS), a new
+procedure for regularizing importance weights. As a byproduct of the
+calculations, we also obtain approximate standard errors for estimated
+predictive errors and for the comparison of predictive errors between models.
+The package also provides methods for using stacking and other model weighting
+techniques to average Bayesian predictive distributions.")
