#80: Crashes of Dynare++ under Windows ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Dynare++ | Version: 4.1.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Changes (by sebastien): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: The official MinGW of GCC 4.4 (which uses Dwarf-2) also has the bug. So the only solution for the GCC 4.4 series is to use SJLJ unwinding, which is provided by TDM build. Issue fixed in Windows package of Dynare 4.1.1. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/80#comment:3> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

#91: Univariate smoother with missing observations needs corrections. --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: stepan | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The last block (if nargout>7) is wrong and cause dynare to crash. Variable iF is not defined in this function (should be Fi i think). There is also a problem with the selection matrix Z. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/91> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #74: Variance decomposition gives dummy results in the presence of non-stationary vars

#74: Variance decomposition gives dummy results in the presence of non- stationary vars --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- In the attached MOD file, the variance decomposition is clearly bogus: some lines don't sum to 100% (some percentages are even negative). The problem does not occur with Dynare 4.0.4. This is probably related to the fact that this model contains a non-stationary variable. The file {{{th_autocovariances.m}}} has changed between versions 4.0.4 and 4.1.0 with respect to the treatment of stationary variables. Also note that the problem does not come from the fact that some shocks are switched off (with a zero variance) in the attached MOD file. Activating all the shocks still gives dummy results. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/74> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
