function SampleAddress = selec_posterior_draws(M_,options_,dr,endo_steady_state,exo_steady_state,exo_det_steady_state,estim_params_,SampleSize,drsize)
% Selects a sample of draws from the posterior distribution and if nargin>1
% saves the draws in _pdraws mat files (metropolis folder). If drsize>0
% the dr structure, associated to the parameters, is also saved in _pdraws.
% This routine is more efficient than metropolis_draw.m because here an
% _mh file cannot be opened twice.
%
% INPUTS
%   o M_                    [structure]     Matlab's structure describing the model
%   o options_              [structure]     Matlab's structure describing the current options
%   o dr                    [structure]     Reduced form model.
%   o endo_steady_state     [vector]        steady state value for endogenous variables
%   o exo_steady_state      [vector]        steady state value for exogenous variables
%   o exo_det_steady_state  [vector]        steady state value for exogenous deterministic variables                                    
%   o SampleSize            [integer]       Size of the sample to build.
%   o drsize                [double]        structure dr is drsize megaoctets.
%
% OUTPUTS
%   o SampleAddress  [integer]  A (SampleSize*4) array, each line specifies the
%                               location of a posterior draw:
%                                  Column 2 --> Chain number
%                                  Column 3 --> (mh) File number
%                                  Column 4 --> (mh) line number
%
% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
%   None.
