stderr

Dear all,

I'm wondering if there is a reason to call the standard deviation of a shock in a prior specification a confusing `stderr', rather than the more standard `std' or `stdev'?

Is it planned to change it in the future versions?

For reasons of backward compatibility, I would not expect a change. Moreover, std is the name of the Matlab command, so one should avoid this.
