Description: Provides functionality to perform a likelihood-free method
        for estimating the parameters of complex models that results in
        a simulated sample from the posterior distribution of model
        parameters given targets. The method begins with a
        accept/reject approximate bayes computation (ABC) step applied
        to a sample of points from the prior distribution of model
        parameters. Accepted points result in model predictions that
        are within the initially specified tolerance intervals around
        the target points. The sample is iteratively updated by drawing
        additional points from a mixture of multivariate normal
        distributions, accepting points within tolerance intervals. As
        the algorithm proceeds, the acceptance intervals are narrowed.
        The algorithm returns a set of points and sampling weights that
        account for the adaptive sampling scheme. For more details see
        Rutter, Ozik, DeYoreo, and Collier (2018) <arXiv:1804.02090>.
