function [tlogpostkernel,loglikelihood] = tempered_likelihood(postkernelfun, xparam, lambda, Prior)

% Evaluate tempered likelihood (posterior kernel)
%
% INPUTS
% - postkernelfun       [handle]   Function handle for the opposite of the  posterior kernel.
% - xparam              [double]   n×1 vector of parameters.
% - lambda              [double]   scalar between 0 and 1, weight on the posterior kernel.
% - Prior               [dprior]   Prior specification.
%
% OUTPUTS
% - tlogpostkernel      [double]   scalar, value of the tempered posterior kernel.
% - loglikelihood       [double]   scalar, value of the log likelihood.
