Description: Enables researchers to sample redistricting plans from a
        pre-specified target distribution using Sequential Monte Carlo
        and Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms. The package allows for
        the implementation of various constraints in the redistricting
        process such as geographic compactness and population parity
        requirements. Tools for analysis such as computation of various
        summary statistics and plotting functionality are also
        included. The package implements the SMC algorithm of McCartan
        and Imai (2023) <doi:10.1214/23-AOAS1763>, the enumeration
        algorithm of Fifield, Imai, Kawahara, and Kenny (2020)
        <doi:10.1080/2330443X.2020.1791773>, the Flip MCMC algorithm of
        Fifield, Higgins, Imai and Tarr (2020)
        <doi:10.1080/10618600.2020.1739532>, the
        Merge-split/Recombination algorithms of Carter et al. (2019)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1911.01503> and DeFord et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1162/99608f92.eb30390f>, and the Short-burst
        optimization algorithm of Cannon et al. (2020)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2011.02288>.
