[Trac] #254: UnivariateSpectralDensity.m must be implemented to preprocessor and documented.

#254: UnivariateSpectralDensity.m must be implemented to preprocessor and documented. -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: jpfeifer | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.3 Component: General | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- The SpectralDensity option of stoch_simul is neither documented nor implemented in the preprocessor. It could be implemented as an option of stoch_simul(). Alternatively, we could use a preprocessor command along the lines spectral_density_decomposition(plot=integer,cutoff=number,step_length= number); which translates into options_.SpectralDensity.trigger = 1; options_.SpectralDensity.plot = integer; options_.SpectralDensity.cutoff = number; options_.SpectralDensity.sdl = number; -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/254> 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
