    Parameters
    ----------
    solution_next : PortfolioSolution
        Solution to next period's problem.
    ShockDstn : [np.array]
        List with four arrays: discrete probabilities, permanent income shocks,
        transitory income shocks, and risky returns.  This is only used if the
        input IndepDstnBool is False, indicating that income and return distributions
        can't be assumed to be independent.
    IncomeDstn : [np.array]
        List with three arrays: discrete probabilities, permanent income shocks,
        and transitory income shocks.  This is only used if the input IndepDsntBool
        is True, indicating that income and return distributions are independent.
    RiskyDstn : [np.array]
        List with two arrays: discrete probabilities and risky asset returns. This
        is only used if the input IndepDstnBool is True, indicating that income
        and return distributions are independent.
    LivPrb : float
        Survival probability; likelihood of being alive at the beginning of
        the succeeding period.
    DiscFac : float
        Intertemporal discount factor for future utility.
    CRRA : float
        Coefficient of relative risk aversion.
    Rfree : float
        Risk free interest factor on end-of-period assets.
    PermGroFac : float
        Expected permanent income growth factor at the end of this period.
    BoroCnstArt: float or None
        Borrowing constraint for the minimum allowable assets to end the
        period with.  In this model, it is *required* to be zero.
    aXtraGrid: np.array
        Array of "extra" end-of-period asset values-- assets above the
        absolute minimum acceptable level.
    ShareGrid : np.array
        Array of risky portfolio shares on which to define the interpolation
        of the consumption function when Share is fixed.
    vFuncBool: boolean
        An indicator for whether the value function should be computed and
        included in the reported solution.
    AdjustPrb : float
        Probability that the agent will be able to update his portfolio share.
    DiscreteShareBool : bool
        Indicator for whether risky portfolio share should be optimized on the
        continuous [0,1] interval using the FOC (False), or instead only selected
        from the discrete set of values in ShareGrid (True).  If True, then
        vFuncBool must also be True.
    ShareLimit : float
        Limiting lower bound of risky portfolio share as mNrm approaches infinity.
    IndepDstnBool : bool
        Indicator for whether the income and risky return distributions are in-
        dependent of each other, which can speed up the expectations step.
