maps for repeated observations

more efficient computation for maps which represented repeated measurements on the same quantity of interest

stable MAP solution

verified by playing with up to 500 measurements over a bunch of examples.

stability bugfixes with map solution for high N, low sd

fix for v0.0.22, which was published from the wrong commit. this version removes division by the evidence when computing the posterior distribution. since it is a constant, there is no benefit in doing this when using it for parameter estimation.

adds runtime

a wip, but in the spirit of main reflecting the latest versions... publishing.

package cleanup

removing some dead weight.

optional log-posterior for numerical stability

experimenting with how to compute the map point, particularly with small standard deviations (0.1) and many measurements (over 500), revealed stability problems (overflow errors). this release gives the option to pass log=True to map_problem

handle multiple QoI

support for vector-valued MUD solutions. no checks on max number of output dimensions, allowed to exceed input dimension, may cause uncertain behavior. may change in future to restrict to max equal to input dimension.

observed distribution already has .prod(axis=1) so support should be handled by default. needs tests.

bugfix for initial / prior densities

now uniforms are set as the default, not normals.
