function random_walk_metropolis_hastings(TargetFun,ProposalFun,xparam1,vv,mh_bounds,varargin)
%function random_walk_metropolis_hastings(TargetFun,ProposalFun,xparam1,vv,mh_bounds,varargin)
% Random walk Metropolis-Hastings algorithm.
%
% INPUTS
% o TargetFun [char] string specifying the name of the objective
% function (posterior kernel).
% o xparam1 [double] (p*1) vector of parameters to be estimated (initial values).
% o vv [double] (p*p) matrix, posterior covariance matrix (at the mode).
% o mh_bounds [double] (p*2) matrix defining lower and upper bounds for the parameters.
% o varargin list of argument following mh_bounds
%
% OUTPUTS
% None
%
% ALGORITHM
% Metropolis-Hastings.
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
% None.
%
% PARALLEL CONTEXT
% The most computationally intensive part of this function may be executed
% in parallel. The code sutable to be executed in
% parallel on multi core or cluster machine (in general a 'for' cycle),
% is removed from this function and placed in random_walk_metropolis_hastings_core.m funtion.
% Then the DYNARE parallel package contain a set of pairs matlab functions that can be executed in
% parallel and called name_function.m and name_function_core.m.
% In addition in parallel package we have second set of functions used
% to manage the parallel computation.
%
% This function was the first function to be parallelized, later other
% functions have been parallelized using the same methodology.
% Then the comments write here can be used for all the other pairs of
% parallel functions and also for management funtions.
