Inconsistency in arguments with which *_steadystate is calle

[cfp]

The current latest code seems to omit the "ys" parameter when calling *_steadystate in evaluate_likelihood. Is this deliberate?

Passing oo_.steady_state is useful when there's no analytic solution since it gives a base from which to start fsolve.

What would be particularly useful would be if they were all called with the return of the *_steadystate function from the previous call, rather than the auxiliary variable expanded version.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

      if ~isfield( oo_, 'reduced_steady_state' )
         if isfield( M_, 'orig_endo_nbr' )
            NumberOfEndogenousVariables = M_.orig_endo_nbr;
         else
            NumberOfEndogenousVariables = M_.endo_nbr;
         end
         oo_.reduced_steady_state = zeros( NumberOfEndogenousVariables );
      end
      [ys,tchek] = feval([M_.fname '_steadystate'],oo_.reduced_steady_state,...
                        [zeros(M_.exo_nbr,1);...
                        oo_.exo_det_steady_state]);
      oo_.reduced_steady_state = ys;
