#'@description Function to calculate and plot a posterior density based on a MCMC data vector.

#'@param plotEst - flag (T/F) to plot the MLE estimate (assumed to be 1st value)
#'@param add - flag (T/F) to add to existing plot (creates new plot if FALSE)
#'@param clr - color for density plot
#'@param alpha - transparency value to apply to clr
#'@param xlim - x axis limits (if add=FALSE)
#'@param ylim - y axis limits (if add=FALSE)
#'@param xlabel - label for x axis (if add=FALSE)
#'@param label - label for plot (if add=FALSE)
