POSTERIOR KERNEL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM!

[tawjuan]

I got the resut below, who can tell me how to deal with it:

POSTERIOR KERNEL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM!
(minus) the hessian matrix at the "mode" is not positive definite!
=> posterior variance of the estimated parameters are not positive.
You should try to change the initial values of the parameters using
the estimated_params_init block, or use another optimization routine.
Warning: The results below are most likely wrong!

In dynare_estimation at 62
In gi at 643
In dynare at 132
Warning: Matrix is singular to working precision.
