  <dc:title>Kernel Stein Discrepancy Goodness-of-Fit and Stein Sampling
Tools</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package steinsampling version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc: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)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.03253&gt; and Chwialkowski et al. (2016)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1602.02964&gt;, plus the finite set Stein discrepancy
    test of Jitkrittum et al. (2017) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1705.07673&gt;. The
    sampling tools include Stein thinning, Stein Points, Stein Point Markov
    chain Monte Carlo, and Stein variational gradient descent following
    Riabiz et al. (2022) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2005.03952&gt;, Chen et al. (2018)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1803.10161&gt;, Chen et al. (2019)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1905.03673&gt;, and Liu and Wang (2016)
    &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1608.04471&gt;. Gaussian mixture utilities are included
    for simulation, likelihoods, posterior probabilities, scores, and plots.</dc:description>
