% BVARPredictionsExist: Tests is all the results for the predictive distributions exist on disk.
%
% USAGE:
%
%       status = BVARPredictionsExist(OutputDirectory,NameOfModel,PriorType,OmegaPriorType,h,NumDraws,NumPaths,AnnualizeData)
%
% REQUIRED INPUT:  OutputDirectory (string vector) with the full path to the base output directory.
%
%                  NameOfModel (string vector) with the name of the model.
%
%                  PriorType (integer) determining the type of prior used for the parameters on lagged endogenous
%                            variables of the Bayesian VAR. The value "1" is the Minnesota-style prior, "2" is the
%                            normal conditional on the covariance matrix prior, and "3" the diffuse prior.
%
%                  OmegaPriorType (integer) determining the type of prior used for the covariance matrix parameters.
%                            The value "1" is a diffuse prior, and "2" and inverse Wishart prior.
%
%                  h (integer) with the length of the prediction horizon.
%
%                  NumDraws (integer) with the total number of parameter draws.
%
%                  NumPaths (integer) with tht total number of prediction paths per parameter draw.
%
%                  AnnualizeData (boolean) that take the value 1 if annualized results should be checked and 0 otherwise.
%
% REQUIRED OUTPUT: status (boolean) that is 1 if the results exist on disk and 0 otherwise.
