Description: Provides useful tools for both users and developers of
        packages for fitting Bayesian models or working with output
        from Bayesian models. The primary goals of the package are to:
        (a) Efficiently convert between many different useful formats
        of draws (samples) from posterior or prior distributions. (b)
        Provide consistent methods for operations commonly performed on
        draws, for example, subsetting, binding, or mutating draws. (c)
        Provide various summaries of draws in convenient formats. (d)
        Provide lightweight implementations of state of the art
        posterior inference diagnostics. References: Vehtari et al.
