Truncated Multivariate Normal and t Distribution Simulation

Description

Simulation of random vectors from truncated multivariate normal and t distributions based on the algorithms proposed by Yifang Li and Sujit K. Ghosh (2015) <doi:10.1080/15598608.2014.996690>. We allow the mean, lower and upper bounds to differ across samples to accommodate regression problems. The algorithms are implemented in C++ and hence are highly efficient.
