In vMF: Sampling from the von Mises-Fisher Distribution

#' @title Sample from von Mises - Fisher distribution
#'
#' @description vMF samples from von Mises-Fisher distribution and performs some operations. 
#' Unlike the \href{https://cran.r-project.org/package=movMF}{movMF} package, vMF does not consider mixtures of von Mises-Fisher distribution.
#' vFM particularly focuses on sampling from the distribution and performs it very quickly. This is useful to carry out fast simulations in directional statistics.
#' vMF also computes the density and normalization constant of the von Mises-Fisher distribution.
