Update DESCRIPTION field with comprehensive summary and paper citation

[Copilot]

The Description field lacked detail and did not reference the underlying paper from Bayesian Analysis.

Changes

• Expanded Description: Added comprehensive summary explaining the package implements SMC² (Sequential Monte Carlo Squared) algorithms for the Bayesian Mallows model, covering rank and preference data including complete rankings, partial rankings, and pairwise comparisons

• Added Citation: Included proper CRAN-compliant DOI reference: Sørensen (2025) <doi:10.1214/25-BA1564>

• CRAN Compliance: Removed trailing spaces and ensured format meets CRAN submission requirements (512 characters, proper DOI syntax, no redundant phrases)

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• projecteuclid.org
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
