abstract: Interactive tools for generating random samples. Users select an .xlsx,
  .csv, or delimited .txt file with population data and are walked through selecting
  the sample type (Simple Random Sample or Stratified), the number of backups desired,
  and a "stratify_on" value (if desired). The sample size is determined using a normal
  approximation to the hypergeometric distribution based on Nicholson (1956) <https://doi.org/10.1214/aoms/1177728270>.
  An .xlsx file is created with the sample and key metadata for reference. It is menu-driven
  and lets users pick an output directory. See vignettes for a detailed walk-through.
