New Estimation Interface

Suggestions for a simplification of the estimation interface in Dynare and breaking very general commands with lots of options in several commands with more targeted scope.

estimated_params

  • rely on options names rather than argument position in the command line
    • prior_shape [specification of the prior distribution]
    • prior_mean
    • prior_stdev
    • prior_mode
    • prior_interval(lower_bound,higher_bound,percentage)
    • lower_location
    • upper_location
    • jscale (Metropolis proposal scaling for a single parameter, little used)
    • init_val
    • boundaries=(lb,ub)
  • this would replace estimated_params_bounds and estimated_params_init
