+return @code{coda} @code{mcmc} objects that can then be summarized using the
+@code{coda} package.  Some useful utility functions such as density functions,
+pseudo-random number generators for statistical distributions, a general
+purpose Metropolis sampling algorithm, and tools for visualization are
+provided.")
