different posterior mean

Postby zenghaiwei » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:49 pm

Hi, everyone

When I estimated a model by dynare, i can get the posterior mean from the filename_mean.mat . I also extact the mcmc draws of the parameters from the subfolder metropolis , and compute the mean of the posterior draws, but i get the different results.

Could anyone tell me why?

Best Regards

You must discard the same number of draws at the beginning.

Could you please describe as precisely as possible what you did so that I can try to replicate your problem. And which version of Dynare?
