#' Sample Session Duration
#'
#' Adds 2 new nested columns to the input_df: `gamma_params` and `samples`
#'     `gamma_params` in each row should be a tibble of length 2 (\eqn{k}
#'         and \eqn{\theta} parameters)
#'     `samples` in each row should be a tibble of length `n_samples`
#'
#' See update_rules vignette for a mathematical representation.
#' \deqn{duration_i ~ Exponential(\lambda)}
#' \deqn{\lambda ~ Gamma(k, \theta)}
#' Session Duration is sampled from a Gamma distribution with a Exponential likelihood
#' of an individual leaving the site or ending a session at time t.
#'
#' This is not always the case, so verify your data follows the shape of
#' an exponential distribution before using this.
#'
#' @param input_df Dataframe containing option_name (str),
#'     sum_sessions (dbl), and sum_duration (dbl).
#' @param priors Optional list of priors k0 and theta0.
#'     Default \eqn{Gamma(1, 250)} will be use otherwise.
#' @param n_samples Optional integer value. Defaults to 50,000 samples.
