Hi All,

I am estimating quite the Smets-Wouters model using the code provided [here](https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod/tree/master/Smets_Wouters_2007). I was wondering if there was a way of plotting the posterior distribution of the Phillips curve slope, which itself is a function of a number of different parameters.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy

Instead of

```auto
prior_function

```

you can use a

```auto
posterior_function

```

See the manual.

Many thanks, that’s very helpful.
