# Sampling Importance Resampling (SIR)                                    #

# The purpose of the SIR function is to perform sampling importance       #
# re-sampling, usually to draw samples from the posterior as output from  #
# LaplaceApproxmation function. This function is similar to the sir       #
# function in the LearnBayes package.                                     #
