Fits unimodal and multimodal gambin distributions to species-abundance distributions
from ecological data, as in in Matthews et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1111/ecog.00861>.
'gambin' is short for 'gamma-binomial'. The main function is fit_abundances(), which estimates
the 'alpha' parameter(s) of the gambin distribution using maximum likelihood. Functions are
also provided to generate the gambin distribution and for calculating likelihood statistics.

One-Dimensional Random Walks Through Simulation of the Gambler's
Ruin Problem
Simulates a gambling game under the gambler's ruin setup, after asking for the money you have and the money you want to win, along with your win probability in each round of the game.
