#' Conditional probability for Gamma distribution
#'
#'gamma_flexprob returns the conditional probability P(Y<k | X) of a model fitted via the function gamma_flexfit; where λ 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. gamma_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 gamma_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 the most common parametrization of the Gamma distribution.The probability probability density function is used is:
#'@details f(y) = λ^α/Γ(α)•y^α-1 exp(-λy)
#'@details The function returns:
#'@details P(Y<k | X) = (1/Γ(α))γ(α,kλ)
#'@details α may be a function of covariates; in which case, the cannonical log link function is used.
