Windows 7 file Explorer crashing on encountering Matlab .mat files
by G Perendia 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi I started encountering what appears to be an unusual problem: Windows 7 file Explorer started crashing and automatically restarting consistently on opening or browsing any directory containing Matlab .mat files! Cygwin I looked int blogs and it appear to be happening to others but mainly with media (e.g. mpeg) files. On my machine, .mat is associated to Matlab via the registry but I can not even run file to program association utility as it uses explorer to search for all file extension on the machine so it crashes too. I did not have much luck with the blogs (I already posted issue to Matlab Newsgroup blog) so I wandered if anyone of you has a suggestion how to solve this issue. PS: Cygwin, Matlab and windows commnad window have no problems browsing or reading those directories but wordpad file open similarly crashes. Best George

Release of Dynare 4.1.0
by Sébastien Villemot 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

Hi everyone, I uploaded the new package for Dynare 4.1.0 on the website. Houtan: could you create a Mac package, starting from the source package on the website? I think this package should contain binaries (Intel and PPC if possible) for preprocessor, dynare++, MEX for Octave, documentation, but no MEX for MATLAB. It should rather provide the build_matlab.m script and all the source files for MEX, so that users can recompile the MEX on their own machine. We can't provide binary MEX for all the various versions of MATLAB. Best, -- Sébastien Villemot

Snapshots are now built on Karaba, and transferred to Kirikou via SSH. There are two flavours of snapshot: source snapshost and Windows binary snapshot.

Re: [DynareDev] Proposed specification for estimation functions
by G. Perendia 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi Sorry for this stream of emails - you may ignore the previous two today (and this one too actually) as I cleared out now how we will link the different priors to the individual parameters and their individual sub-period life-spans in calculation of the posterior, as stated under Parameters and Sub-Samples on the EstimationModule wiki page. Regards George

#67: Bug in gamrnd (prior_draw) --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: ratto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- For some types of gamma samples, like mean=1.5 and std=0.25, which implies a=36, b= 0.0417 the gamrnd dynare routine provides wrong values (too high), always rejected since the values are always above the upper bound. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/67> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
