Method-class

An object of class <code>Method</code> consists of a name, label, and a function
<code>method</code> that takes arguments model and draw. A draw refers
to a single element of the list in an object of class <code>Draws</code>.

A framework for performing simulations such as those common in
methodological statistics papers. The design principles of this package
are described in greater depth in Bien, J. (2016) "The simulator: An Engine
to Streamline Simulations," which is available at <arXiv:1607.00021>.
