% Differs from fn_rnrprior_covres_dobs_tv(): no linear restrictions (Ui and Vi) have applied yet to this function, but
%     linear restrictions are incorported in fn_rnrprior_covres_dobs_tv().
%
% Only works for the nexo=1 (constant term) case.  To extend this to other exogenous variables, see fn_dataxy.m.  01/14/03.
% Differs from fn_rnrprior_covres.m in that dummy observations are included as part of the explicit prior.  See Forcast II, pp.68-69b.
% More general than fn_rnrprior.m because when hpmsmd=0, fn_rnrprior_covres() is the same as fn_rnrprior().
%    Allows for prior covariances for the MS and MD equations to achieve liquidity effects.
%    Exports random Bayesian prior of Sims and Zha with asymmetric rior (but no linear restrictions yet)
%    See Waggoner and Zha's Gibbs sampling paper and TVBVAR NOTES p. 71k.0.
%
% nvar:  number of endogenous variables
% q_m:  quarter or month
% lags: the maximum length of lag
% xdgel: T*nvar endogenous-variable matrix of raw or original data (no manipulation involved) with sample size including lags.
%       Order of columns: (1) nvar endogenous variables; (2) constants will be automatically put in the last column.
%       Used only to get variances of residuals for mu(1)-mu(5) and for dummy observations mu(5) and mu(6).
% mu: 6-by-1 vector of hyperparameters (the following numbers for Atlanta Fed's forecast), where
%          mu(5) and mu(6) are NOT used here.  See fn_dataxy.m for using mu(5) and mu(6).
%       mu(1): overall tightness and also for A0;  (0.57)
%       mu(2): relative tightness for A+;  (0.13)
%       mu(3): relative tightness for the constant term;  (0.1).  NOTE: for other
%               exogenous terms, the variance of each exogenous term must be taken into
%               acount to eliminate the scaling factor.
%       mu(4): tightness on lag decay;  (1)
%       mu(5): weight on nvar sums of coeffs dummy observations (unit roots);  (5)
%       mu(6): weight on single dummy initial observation including constant
%               (cointegration, unit roots, and stationarity);  (5)
% indxDummy:  1: uses dummy observations to form part of an explicit prior; 0: no dummy observations as part of the prior.
% hpmsmd: 2-by-1 hyperparameters with -1<h1=hpmsmd(1)<=0 for the MS equation and 0<=h2=hpmsmd(2)<1 the MD equation.  Consider a1*R + a2*M.
%          The term h1*var(a1)*var(a2) is the prior covariance of a1 and a2 for MS, equivalent to penalizing the same sign of a1 and a2.
%          The term h2*var(a1)*var(a2) is the prior covariance of a1 and a2 for MD, equivalent to penalizing opposite signs of a1 and a2.
%          This will give us a liquidity effect.
% indxmsmdeqn: 4-by-1 index for the locations of the MS and MD equation and for the locations of M and R.
%               indxmsmdeqn(1) for MS and indxmsmdeqn(2) for MD.
%               indxmsmdeqn(3) for M and indxmsmdeqn(4) for R.
% nexo:  number of exogenous variables (if not specified, nexo=1 (constant) by default).
%         The constant term is always put to the last of all endogenous and exogenous variables.
% asym0: nvar-by-nvar asymmetric prior on A0.  Column -- equation.
%        If ones(nvar,nvar), symmetric prior;  if not, relative (asymmetric) tightness on A0.
% asymp: ncoef-1-by-nvar asymmetric prior on A+ bar constant.  Column -- equation.
%        If ones(ncoef-1,nvar), symmetric prior;  if not, relative (asymmetric) tightness on A+.
% --------------------
% Pi: ncoef-by-nvar matrix for the ith equation under random walk.  Same for all equations
% H0multi: nvar-by-nvar-by-nvar; H0 for different equations under asymmetric prior
% Hpmulti: ncoef-by-ncoef-by-nvar; H+ for different equations under asymmetric prior
% H0invmulti: nvar-by-nvar-by-nvar; inv(H0) for different equations under asymmetric prior
% Hpinvmulti: ncoef-by-ncoef-by-nvar; inv(H+) for different equations under asymmetric prior
% sgh: nvar-by-1 standard deviations of residuals for each equation.
