Description: Bayesian synthetic likelihood (BSL, Price et al. (2018) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2017.1302882>)
    is an alternative to standard, non-parametric approximate Bayesian 
	computation (ABC). BSL assumes a multivariate normal distribution 
	for the summary statistic likelihood and it is suitable when the 
	distribution of the model summary statistics is sufficiently regular. 
	This package provides a Metropolis Hastings Markov chain Monte Carlo 
	implementation of BSL, BSLasso and semiBSL. BSL with graphical lasso 
	(BSLasso, An et al. (2018) <https://eprints.qut.edu.au/102263/>) is 
    computationally more efficient when the dimension of the summary statistic 
	is high. A semi-parametric version of BSL (semiBSL, An et al. (2018) 
	<arXiv:1809.05800>) is more robust to non-normal summary 
	statistics. Extensions to this package are planned.
