Posterior objects and functions

Posterior objects, poster, are used to evaluate the behaviour of the posterior dsitribution, and to draw model parameters from the posterior distibution.

Posterior objects are set up within the model/estimate function and returned as the second output argument - the set up and initialisation of the posterior object is fully automated in this case. Alternatively, you can set up a posterior object manually, by setting all its properties appropriately.
