function lpkern = evaluate_posterior_kernel(parameters,M_,estim_params_,oo_,options_,bayestopt_,llik)
% Evaluate the evaluate_posterior_kernel at parameters.
%
% INPUTS
% o parameters a string ('posterior mode','posterior mean','posterior median','prior mode','prior mean') or a vector of values for
% the (estimated) parameters of the model.
% o M_ [structure] Definition of the model
% o estim_params_ [structure] characterizing parameters to be estimated
% o oo_ [structure] Storage of results
% o options_ [structure] Options
% o bayestopt_ [structure] describing the priors
% o llik [double] value of the logged likelihood if it
% should not be computed
%
% OUTPUTS
% o lpkern [double] value of the logged posterior kernel.
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
% None
%
% REMARKS
% [1] This function cannot evaluate the prior density of a dsge-var model...
% [2] This function use persistent variables for the dataset and the description of the missing observations. Consequently, if this function
% is called more than once (by changing the value of parameters) the sample *must not* change.
