Dynare forums

... on the forum. I'm trying to estimate a model with five mcmc chains and with mh_replic = 100,000. I have tried this on a desktop (Windows 8, Octave 3.6.4 and Dynare 4.4.2) and on the university Linux-based network (Matlab R2013a, Dynare 4.4.1) and the sofrware always crashes. With Octave ...

... I'm trying to simulate this model and the messages below is showing up, I have not found errors. Please, help me. (model follows in attachment) Octave-3.6.4: error: linsolve: matrix singular to machine precision terminate called after throwing an instance of 'octave_execution_exception' This ...

There is nothing wrong. I guess you are using Octave. The message comes from Dynare command that tries to find the optimal column length for printing tables. One of your values has a mean of 0 and thus zero digits. You can simply ignore this message. ...

... I tried handling this with a macro-processor loop but I kept getting errors about too many equations for variables. So I did it instead with an Octave loop and the simulations run absolutely fine as they're supposed to. However, I tried to do something like this: for i = 1:4 ... f = ["reports" ...

I've run on the following problem: Dynare throws the a error while reading the line stoch_simul(irf=12,irf_shocks=( e_B e_I)) c_O c_RT c; through octave: syntax error, unexpected NAME I've run tests on the .mod code SEVERAL TIMES on my computer (a windows system) with no problem whatsoever, so ...

... and will do simulations controlling the shocks, to verify that the same paths for the variables come out. A note, I'm using Dynare 4.4.1 and Octave 3.8.0.

... an argument of fun_ss is not authorized. In the future, Dynare will provide a more explicit error message of the type par is the name of a MATLAB/Octave function, and cannot be used as a variable. You could avoid this by putting the whole par-part into a verbatim-block: verbatim; [par1 target]=calibration; ...

Thank you for the reply, Johanes. I travel a lot and would enjoy this option on the tablet. As Android is based on Linux and there is already Octave for Android, probably it would be implementable. Let's see...

... MATLAB_VERSION=7.10 and everything went fine, but when I try this command with Dynare 4.4.1, it gives me the error "configure: error: Your Octave is too old, please upgrade to version 3.6 at least. configure: error: ./configure failed for mex/build/octave". However, the command "octave ...

Thanks for the Octave 3.8.0 support! It's working fine for me.
