[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

[Trac] #85: Estimation is not deterministic: a seed should be explictly given to random number generator

#85: Estimation is not deterministic: a seed should be explictly given to random number generator --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Currently MOD files doing estimation are not deterministic: different runs of the same MOD files don't give the same results, since the seed for random number generator is not the same accross runs. The easy way to fix that is to set the seed in dynare.m. There would be a default value for the seed, or it could be changed through an option/command. A more subtle way would be to have a seed reset at the top of every major function (estimation, stoch_simul). We need to decide which way is the best. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/85> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #202: conditional_variance_decomposition option fails with estimation

#202: conditional_variance_decomposition option fails with estimation --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: sebastien | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.2.1 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- It looks for the M_.sigma_e_is_diagonal flag, which is only added by the preprocessor if the "shocks" block is present, based on the contents of that block. In an estimation context, this field is therefore not necessarily present. Maybe the fix is to generate the flag in the preprocessor using the contents of estimated_params. Comments please. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/202> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
