 We can implement Stochastic Variational Inference (SVI) Numpyro using the `Adam` gradient descent algorithm to approximate posterior.
 
 We use  two sets of variational distributions: Beta and TruncatedNormal with support $[0,1]$
 
-  - Learnable parameters for the Beta distribution are (alpha, beta), both of which are positive.
-  - Learnable parameters for the Truncated Normal distribution are (loc, scale).

+- ('beta', alpha, beta)
 - ('uniform', upper_bound, lower_bound)
-
 - ('lognormal', loc, scale)
    - Note: This is the truncated log normal.

 - ('vonMises', kappa), where kappa denotes concentration parameter, and center location is set to $0.5$.

 - ('laplace', loc, scale)
    - Note: This is the truncated Laplace
 
 The class `BaysianInference` has several key methods :
 - `sample_prior`:
    - This can be used to draw a single sample from the given prior distribution.
-
 - `show_prior`:
    - Plots the approximate prior distribution by repeatedly drawing samples and fitting a kernal density curve.
-
 - `MCMC_sampling`:
    - INPUT: (data, num_samples, num_warmup=1000)
    - Take a `np.array` data and generate MCMC sampling of posterior of size `num_samples`.
-
 - `SVI_run`:
   - INPUT: (data, guide_dist, n_steps=10000)
   - guide_dist = 'normal' - use a **truncated** normal distribution as the parametrized guide
