Zombie drugs with prop_model

If we really were interested in the underlying proportion of heads of this coin then prop_model isn't particularly useful. Since it assumes that any underlying proportion of success is equally likely prior to seeing any data it will take a lot of coin flipping to convince prop_model that the coin is fair. This model is more appropriate in a situation where we have little background knowledge about the underlying proportion of success.

Let's say the zombie apocalypse is upon us and we have come up with a new experimental drug to cure zombieism. We have no clue how effective it's going to be, but when we gave it to 13 zombies two of them turned human again.

Change the data argument to prop_model to estimate the underlying proportion of success of curing a zombie.
