#' Conditional probability for Beta Prime distribution
#'
#' betapr_flexprob returns the conditional probability P(Y<k | X) of a model fitted via the function betapr_flexfit; where α has been specified to be a function of covariates the required value should be specified using the ‘features’ parameter. The function includes a procedure for visualizing the conditional probability. betapr_flexprob also allows for the correlation of estimated parameters via the Cholesky decomposition of the variance-covariance matrix.
#'@param K Value for which P(Y<k | X) is computed.
#'@param model An object of class "mle2" produced using the function betapr_flexfit.
#'@param features A numeric vector specifying the value of covriates at which the conditional probability should be evaluated; the covariates in the vector should appear in the same order as they do in the model. Where a model does not depend on covariates the argument may be left blank.
#'@param visualise Logical. If TRUE (the default) the conditional distribution is plotted at P(Y<k | x) is shaded.
#'@param xlim Numeric vectors of length 2, giving the coordinate range of the dependent variable.
#'@param draws The number of random draws from multivariate random normal representing correlated parameters. If parameter correlation is not required draws should be set to zero.
#'@details This function uses the two parameter parametrization of the Beta Prime distribution is used in Johnson and Kotz (1995). The tow parameter distribution ins a special case of the three parameter distribution, with σ = 1. The probability probability density function is used is:
#'@details f(y) = [y^α-1 (1+y)^-(α+β)]/Β(α,β)
#'@details The function returns:
#'@details P(Y<k | X) = I(α,β)
#'@details α may be a function of covariates; in which case, the cannonical log link function is used.
