An S4 class representing the random draws from a Model object.

An object of class Draws represents the randomly drawn simulated data that is generated when simulate_from_model is called on an object of class Model. In particular, it contains a named list of nsim simulated draws from a model object. The Model object's simulate function populates this list.
