% MCMC estimates paramters using a Monte Carlo Markov Chain.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% DESCRIPTION: MCMC estimate the parameters of a given model given
%              inputs, outputs and noise using a Metropolis algorithm.
%              It handles (1 input / 1 output) systems, (2 input / 1 output) systems,
%              and (2 input / 2 output) systems.
%
% CALL:        b = mcmc(in,out,pl)
%
% INPUTS:      out     - analysis objects with measured outputs
%
%              pl      - parameter list
%
% OUTPUTS:     b   - pest object contatining estimate information
