function [tlogpostkernel,loglikelihood] = tempered_likelihood(postkernelfun, xparam, lambda, Prior)
% Evaluate tempered likelihood (posterior kernel)
%
% INPUTS
% - postkernelfun [handle] Function handle for the opposite of the posterior kernel.
% - xparam [double] n×1 vector of parameters.
% - lambda [double] scalar between 0 and 1, weight on the posterior kernel.
% - Prior [dprior] Prior specification.
%
% OUTPUTS
% - tlogpostkernel [double] scalar, value of the tempered posterior kernel.
% - loglikelihood [double] scalar, value of the log likelihood.
