Dynare forums

Hello, everyone.
I'm a beginner of the DYNARE.
I am running the DYNARE 4.1.0 or 4.1.3 with the Octave 3.2.3 or 3.2.4.

When I try to run the RBC_Est.mod of User Guide
always the following error occurs.

How should I deal wtih this error?

In addition, the fs2000.mod runs successfully.
Thanks!

Hi,

Your error is related to a bug in Octave.

Concretely, you must increase the variance of gamma priors (psi and epsilon parameters).

Once this is fixed, you may encounter another bug. I will give you the fix upon request.

Best,

Dear Sébastien
Thank you for a reply.

As you say, I increase the variance of psi and epsilon,
The xgammainc_ error of octave does not occur.
However, another error occurs.

error: number of columns must match (1 != 2)

Plese fix this problem. Thank you in advance.

Dear Sébastien

I executed the dynare unstable version after increased the variance of psi and epsilon.
Then,the RBC_Est.mod ran successfully.
Great.

Thank you very much.
