abstract: Efficient sampling from high-dimensional truncated Gaussian distributions,
  or multivariate truncated normal (MTN). Techniques include zigzag Hamiltonian Monte
  Carlo as in Akihiko Nishimura, Zhenyu Zhang and Marc A. Suchard (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2024.2395587>,
  and harmonic Monte Carlo in Ari Pakman and Liam Paninski (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1080/10618600.2013.788448>.
