maximize_prior_density(iparams, prior_shape, prior_hyperparameter_1, prior_hyperparameter_2, prior_inf_bound, prior_sup_bound,DynareOptions,DynareModel,EstimatedParams,DynareResults)
% Maximizes the logged prior density using Chris Sims' optimization routine.
%
% INPUTS
% iparams [double] vector of initial parameters.
% prior_shape [integer] vector specifying prior densities shapes.
% prior_hyperparameter_1 [double] vector, first hyperparameter.
% prior_hyperparameter_2 [double] vector, second hyperparameter.
% prior_inf_bound [double] vector, prior's lower bound.
% prior_sup_bound [double] vector, prior's upper bound.
%
% OUTPUTS
% xparams [double] vector, prior mode.
% lpd [double] scalar, value of the logged prior density at the mode.
% hessian [double] matrix, Hessian matrix at the prior mode.
