function ModelParameters = ThetaToModelParameters(ModelParameters,theta,thetaPositions)
% ThetaToModelParameters: sets the relevant fields of the structure ModelParameters to the correct values as they
%                         appear in the vector theta
%
% USAGE:
%
%       ModelParameters = ThetaToModelParameters(ModelParameters,theta,thetaPositions)
%
% REQUIRED INPUT:  ModelParameters (structure) whose fields have names given by the parameter names in the
%                                  DSGE model.
%
%                  theta (vector) whose entries correspond to values of the parameters of the DSGE model that
%                                  are estimated
%
%                  thetaPositions (structure) with fields parameter and distribution. This function
%                                 needs the former field to know which parameter name corresponds to
%                                 position i in theta.
%
% REQUIRED OUTPUT: ModelParameters (structure), where the fields for the estimated parameters take on the
%                                 values provided by theta.
