Python-Julia Implementation Testing

My project will be developing a test suite that compares the output produced by the Julia and Python implementations of GerryChain. This test suite will help the MGGG ensure that the implementation of various algorithms in the GerryChain library are consistent across the two languages. I will use statistical techniques to provide measures of the similarity of the distributions produced by the two implementations; if the distributions seem dissimilar, the team will be able to re-examine the code and identify why the output produced is not equivalent.
