    Parameters
    ----------
    vec : array
        1D array from trace
    vname : str
        variable name
    color : str
        matplotlib color
    bw : float
        Bandwidth scaling factor. Should be larger than 0. The higher this number the smoother the
        KDE will be. Defaults to 4.5 which is essentially the same as the Scott's rule of thumb
        (the default used rule by SciPy).
    titlesize : float
        font size for title
    xt_labelsize : float
       fontsize for xticks
    linewidth : float
        Thickness of lines
    markersize : float
        Size of markers
    credible_interval : float
        Credible intervals. Defaults to 0.94
    point_estimate : str or None
        'mean' or 'median'
    shade : float
        Alpha blending value for the shaded area under the curve, between 0 (no shade) and 1
        (opaque). Defaults to 0.
