### Usage

    inla.stack.mexpand(..., old.names = "response", new.name = "response")

### Arguments

`...` | List of stacks that contain vector observations (existing multilikelihood observation matrices are also permitted)
`old.names` | A vector of strings with the names of the observation vector/matrix for each stack. If a single string, this is assumed for all the stacks. (default "response")
`new.name` | The name to be used for the expanded observation matrix, possibly the same as an old name. (default "response")

### Value
