add support for correlated distribution parameters? #191

currently the parameters used to specify various distributions are assumed to be independent, but in principle they could be correlated. if a user could provide a covariance matrix in addition to each parameter's mean, we could draw from a multivariate normal to pull distribution parameters representative of the covariance relationship.
