Description: Provides Stein-discrepancy goodness-of-fit tests and
        Stein-method-based sampling tools. The tests include kernel
        Stein discrepancy U- and V-statistics following Liu et al.
        (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.03253> and Chwialkowski et al.
        (2016) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.02964>, plus the finite set
        Stein discrepancy test of Jitkrittum et al. (2017)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1705.07673>. The sampling tools include
        Stein thinning, Stein Points, Stein Point Markov chain Monte
        Carlo, and Stein variational gradient descent following Riabiz
        et al. (2022) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2005.03952>, Chen et al.
        (2018) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1803.10161>, Chen et al. (2019)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1905.03673>, and Liu and Wang (2016)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1608.04471>. Gaussian mixture utilities are
        included for simulation, likelihoods, posterior probabilities,
        scores, and plots.
