function [ldens,parameters] = evaluate_prior(parameters,M_,estim_params_,oo_,options_,bayestopt_)
% Evaluate the prior density 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 oo_ [structure] Storage of results
% o options_ [structure] Options
% o bayestopt_ [structure] describing the priors
% o estim_params_ [structure] characterizing parameters to be estimated
%
%
% OUTPUTS
% o ldens [double] value of the logged prior density.
% o parameters [double] vector of values for the estimated parameters.
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
% None
%
% REMARKS
% [1] This function cannot evaluate the prior density of a dsge-var model...
