Description

@mitzimorris

Summary:

Change N_Eff to ESS as N is misleading as it in manual refers to to the number iterations in each chain (or is often used for the number of observations). ESS would be more clear as it is acronym for effective sample size. posterior package used .e.g by CmdStanR has at least moved to use ESS.
