        ## Description.
        
        This is a library (very much still in development) intended to make
        sensitivity analysis easier for optimization problems. For background and motivation, see the following papers:
        
        Covariances, Robustness, and Variational Bayes

        ## Using the package.
        
        We welcome new users\! However, please be aware that the package is
        still in development. We encourage users to contact the author (github
        user `rgiordan`) for advice, bugs, or if you're using the package for
        something important.
        
        ### Installation.
        
        To install the latest tagged version, install with `pip`:
        
        `python3 -m pip install vittles`.
        
        Note that `vittles` is under rapid development, so you may want to clone
        the respository and use the master branch instead.
        
        ### Documentation and Examples.
        
        For examples and API documentation, see
        [readthedocs](https://vittles-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
        
        Alternatively, check out the repo and run `make html` in `docs/`.
