Dear all, I am trying to fix a bug in estimation where I need to know if the user specified mh_jscale or whether the default from global_intialization was used? Is there an easy way to do this? If not, is estimation_info.init the right place to store this info? -- Johannes Pfeifer Haußerstr. 29 72076 Tübingen Tel.: +49-(0)7071-6396184 Mobil.: +49-(0)170-6936820 Germany

Hi Sébastien, I dont know if you were able to find the source of my last runtime error. Here is a similar case you should take a look at: http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1 <http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4066> &t=4066 Dynare 4.2.5 still reports that there are 5 endogenous variables and 4 equations while 4.3 and the snapshot crash with the following output: Configuring Dynare ...

prior_bounds
by Johannes Pfeifer 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi, it seems as if commit e95defd117b03fe175fbd8d41b17b435457671e5 introduced a bug into priorbounds. If prior_trunc~=0, the first output argument contains the lower bound of the priors, while if prior_trunc==0 it contains the upper bound, i.e. the order is switched. See http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1 <http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4067> &t=4067 Best, Johannes -------- Johannes Pfeifer Haußerstr. 29 72076 Tübingen Tel.: +49-(0)7071-6396184 Mobil: +49-(0)170-6936820 jpfeifer(a)gmx.de
