# SPRITE Test β€” Sample Parameter Reconstruction via Iterative Techniques
# Based on: Heathers & Brown (2019)
#
# GRIM checks if a mean is possible.
# SPRITE checks if a mean AND standard deviation are
# simultaneously possible given N and scale bounds.
# Catches fabricated datasets that pass GRIM alone.
