#133: datafile option in simul --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: michel | Owner: ferhat Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Core M-files | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- this option is very similar to initval_file but it requires two different files for endogenous and exogenous variables. The entry in the manual doesn't describe the required files. It may be interesting to use it for loading only trajectories for the exogenous variables. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/133> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

#106: Document prior distributions ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: sebastien | Owner: stepan Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.2 Component: Documentation | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The document from Stéphane is probably the one to use. It should be added to the doc/ subdirectory, then to the build-system and to the packaging. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/106> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

We need to check with grep info *.m -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/59> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

#228: document functions for which we have changed the calling sequence in unstable ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: michel | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Documentation | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ The changes that we have made to several functions in unstable will break the code of people who are calling these functions directly. This will make a big mess when we release 4.3 We need to document those changes on the wiki -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/228> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #238: Add interface for convergence tolerance criterions (and maybe rename internal options)

#238: Add interface for convergence tolerance criterions (and maybe rename internal options) -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: General | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Currently we have 4 options for convergence criterions: - options_.dynatol.f - options_.dynatol.x - options_.solve_tolf - options_.solve_tolx The first two are for the deterministic solution, the last two for the steady state. We should add a preprocessor interface to these options. Also, it would make sense to rename them for more homogeneity. I suggest the following renaming scheme: - options_.dynatol.f => options_.simul_tolf - options_.dynatol.x => options_.simul_tolx - options_.solve_tolf => options_.steady_tolf - options_.solve_tolx => options_.steady_tolx -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/238> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #216: Behaviour of "nograph" option is not consistent

#216: Behaviour of "nograph" option is not consistent --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Core M-files | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The reference manual says that with the "nograph" options, Dynare "doesn't do the graphs". This options indeed prevents Dynare from displaying graphs, but it still creates PDF/EPS files in some parts of the code (but not). For example, stoch_simul+nograph won't create PDF/EPS files for IRFs, but estimation+nograph will still create some PDF/EPS files. This is inconsistent. Moreover, some users would like to have the possibility of not saving the graphs (http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3362) I think we should either decide that "nograph" means "do not display nor save graphs", or create a new option like "nographsave" which would allow full flexibility with regard to displaying/saving graphs. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/216> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
