+``method`` and ``use_factor`` options for `np.random.multivariate_normal`
+----------------------------------------------------
+A ``method`` option is now available for `np.random.multivariate_normal` with
+possible values {'svd', 'eigh', 'cholesky'}. To use it, write
+``np.random.multivariate_normal(..., method=<method>)``. Another option
+``use_factor`` is now available which allows the user to pass a precomputed
+factor of a covariance matrix in order to speed up computation. To use it,
+write ``np.random.multivariate_normal(..., use_factor=True)``. The ``method``
+option is ignored when ``use_factor=True``
