this update substitutes the sequential batch simulation in batch_toad with array operations and adds support for batches that have batch_size different parameter values. batch_toad and toad are also combined into toad, and summary calculation is broken into four nodes that represent summaries calculated at each lag = 1, 2, 4, 8. the update on summary calculation is cosmetic and was done with the lotka-volterra and arch examples in mind, ie to match how summaries are represented in those ones.
Examples:
the old and new toad(1.5, 35, 0.5) should take around the same time while the new toad(1.5, 35, 0.5, batch_size=100) should run much faster than the old toad_batch(1.5, 35, 0.5, batch_size=100). the difference was around 5 seconds vs 250 ms on my laptop, measured with timeit in notebook environment.
when x = toad([1.5, 1.5], [2., 75.], [0.5, 0], n_toads=2, n_days=7, batch_size=2), the observation sets x[:, :, 0] and x[:, :, 1] should have different characteristics. the moved distances should be shorter in the first set and there should be no returns in the second set. the old version does not support batches with different parameters so toad_batch([1.5, 1.5], [2., 75.], [0.5, 0], n_toads=2, n_days=7, batch_size=2) returns two observation sets with the same characteristics.
