abstract: Provides a fast and efficient implementation of Sobol sequences for quasi-Monte
  Carlo methods. The Sobol sequence is a low-discrepancy sequence with the property
  that for all values of N, its subsequence x1, ..., xN has a low discrepancy. It
  can be used to generate quasi-random numbers for use in Monte Carlo integration
  and other simulation methods. This implementation is based on the algorithms described
  by Bratley and Fox (1988) <https://doi.org/10.1145/42288.214372> and uses direction
  numbers from Joe and Kuo (2008) <https://doi.org/10.1145/1358628.1358630>. The package
  includes both batch and incremental interfaces with support for arbitrary starting
  indices and reproducible sequences. It uses 'Rcpp' for efficient 'C++' integration.
