function [mu, covariance, mode, kernel_at_the_mode] = compute_posterior_covariance_matrix(names, fname, dname, options_, outputFolderName)
% Estimation of the posterior covariance matrix, posterior mean, posterior mode and evaluation of the posterior kernel at the
% estimated mode, using posterior draws from a metropolis-hastings. The estimated posterior mode and covariance matrix are saved in
% a file <fname>_mh_mode.mat, hssmc_mode.mat or dsmh__mode.mat under <dname>/<outputFolderName>/.
%
% INPUTS
% - names [cell] n×1 cell array of row char arrays, names of the estimated parameters.
% - fname [char] name of the model
% - dname [char] name of subfolder with output files
% - outputFolderName [char] name of directory to store results
%
% OUTPUTS
% - mean [double] n×1 vector, posterior expectation of the parameters.
% - covariance [double] n×n matrix, posterior covariance of the parameters.
% - mode [double] n×1 vector, posterior mode of the parameters.
% - kernel_at_the_mode [double] scalar, value of the posterior kernel at the mode.
