Description: Random sampling from distributions with user-specified population covariance matrix. Marginal information may be fully
        specified, for which the package implements the VITA (VIne-To-Anything) algorithm
        Grønneberg and Foldnes (2017) <doi:10.1007/s11336-017-9569-6>.  See also Grønneberg, Foldnes and Marcoulides (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v102.i03>.
        Alternatively, marginal skewness and kurtosis may be specified, for which the package
        implements the IG (independent generator), PLSIM (piecewise linear) and VM (Vale-Maurelli) algorithms, see Foldnes and Olsson (2016) <doi:10.1080/00273171.2015.1133274>,
        Foldnes and Grønneberg (2021) <doi:10.1080/10705511.2021.1949323> and Vale and Maurelli (1983) <doi:10.1007/BF02293687>, respectively.
