[Trac] #161: Under Octave, gamma priors fail when variance is too small

#161: Under Octave, gamma priors fail when variance is too small --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.2 Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.3 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- This is reproducible on file RBC_Est.mod distributed with the user guide, which has two gamma priors. The problem is related to a bug in Octave: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493869 It may also affect beta priors which rely on gaminv() function. A minimal solution would be to give a sensible error message to the user, so that he knows he has to increase the variance. A better solution would be to reimplement gaminv. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/161> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

Re: [DynareDev] nograph in dynare 4.2.4
by Michel Juillard 13 Jan '12

My suggestion is - nograph should not compute the graph - nodisplay should build and save the graph but not show it - the necessary rewrite of the graph routines should factorize common code - we should only save graphs in one format (other on option) I suggest EPS, but would agree to PDF Best Michel On 12/14/2011 03:20 PM, marco.ratto(a)jrc.ec.europa.eu wrote: > Dear Sebastien, Stephane, > > I am a bit confused about the nograph option in estimation. > While is stoch_simul the logic of this option is clearly to skip any > plot in loops, the practice for estimation has been more to avoid > having a lot of plots opened after estimation and or MH, but the plots > are done (more a nodisplay than a nograph). > > In recent commits, it happens that smoothed shocks and historical and > smoothed variables are made behind the scene as "visible off", however > the saved fig files are not visible when opened later on and, during > the dynare session, such figures keep being opened behind the scene > (no close command).

[Trac] #173: fix license problems in GSA

#173: fix license problems in GSA --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: critical | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Some files in the {{{matlab/gsa}}} subdirectory have copyright status incompatible with inclusion in Dynare. At least: {{{ fdjac.m LPTAU.m optget.m Sampling_Function_2.m }}} Other files do not have any copyright notice, their status should be checked. The copyright status of the GSA manual is not explicited. Once these issues are fixed, the license.txt file should be updated accordingly. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/173> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #223: add @#ifdef functionality to macroprocessor

#223: add @#ifdef functionality to macroprocessor --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: houtanb | Owner: sebastien Type: feature | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Currently, we only support @#if, meaning that every macro variable must be predefined. For large mod files with many clauses where you may want to include/exclude portions easily, this becomes cumbersome because it requires you to define all macro used anywhere to be equal to zero at the beginning of the modfile. It is also cumbersome when certain macro variables are only defined based on the existence of others, making the definition at the beginning of the mod file all that much longer. See GPM6.mod to get the general idea. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/223> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
