Description: Provides useful tools for both users and developers of
        Bayesian modeling software, focusing on manipulating,
        summarizing, and diagnosing the output of 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. (2021)
