Dynare forums

Just for your information, concerning the 1st point, we plan to introduce a better way of managing RNG seed in the next version of Dynare.

Hi Sebastien,

thanks for your reply.

With the latest version of Dynare I can now go to the actual physical memory restriction, so the problem seems to be solved.

... Thank you for your reply, much appreciate it. Actually, my bad, what I wanted to do, was to run mode compute=1, which should call fmincon, but Octave says "fmincon not defined in Octave", so it seems that Octave does not have a similar function as fmincon? [On the other hand, mode ...

Hi,

fminunc is present in Octave 3.2.4. Which version of Octave are you using ? Or do you get an error message ?

Hey guys,

I want to run Dynare in Octave, but it seems fminunc or similar function is not there. Estimation would not converge using mode compute=4, so I want to use 1. Any ideas what to do.

Thanks in advance.
