Identification
by Johannes Pfeifer 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hi Marco, could you please have a look at the attached mod-file I got from http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6795 It has a unit root and without the options_.lik_init=2 I put returns a wrong error. Thus, I pushed https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/pull/922 But even when setting options_.lik_init=2, it runs, but the two parameters phi and alpha are not identified. Having a cursory look at the model this is strange. When adding rho_a as an estimated parameter, suddenly phi is identified. Can such an interaction occur or is this a bug? I though identification is about partial derivatives that are unaffected by other estimated parameters.

Testsuite
by Stéphane Adjemian 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Dear all, I have just pushed changes related to the testsuite. Starting tonight, the log files will be publicly available on our we site (not on karaba). I still need to fix small issues, but I hope it will run smoothly this night. In master, I also changed the output of `make check` which will be much more synthetic and hopefully nicer. The log files will be available at http://www.dynare.org/testsuite. Best, Stéphane -- Stéphane Adjemian Université du Maine, Gains & Dynare Team

Parallel Execution and Global Variables
by Johannes Pfeifer 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi, does anyone know how parallel execution works with global variables? In random_walk_metropolis_hastings.m we define at the beginning global objective_function_penalty_base objective_function_penalty_base = Inf; How is this variablem treated in parallel execution. In particular, what happens if one of the instances/nodes changes this value for objective_function_penalty_base? Does this affect all other nodes? Or does each node keep its own instance of the global variable? I would be grateful for any insights.

Unit test log files
by Stéphane Adjemian 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi Johannes, I fixed the problem on Karaba (the permissions on your public ssh key were wrong). You should be able to read the log. You will see that this is almost useless because all the tests are mixed up (we run the testsuite in parallel). When I want to debug something I run the test suite on a single file (you can do it on sedna if you build dynare from git sources, this should be simple because all the dependencies are already installed) with the following command on while in the tests folder: ~$ make fs2000/fs2000.m.trs If you already run the tests you will need to clean the folder before with: ~$ make clean This will run the test with Matlab and return two txt files: - fs2000.m.trs which indicates if the test was successful - fs2000.log the log file for this test. If you want to perform the test with octave, you simply have to run: ~$ make fs2000/fs2000.o.trs In the next days I will try to modify the test suite script so that the generated *.o.trs, *.m.trs and *.log files are sent in a place visible from a browser.

newrat
by Johannes Pfeifer 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi Marco, I am trying to factorize the mode-finding code to make it reusable in other parts of Dynare. But I am having a hard time with newrat in master. The reason is that newrat is the only optimizer that endogenously changes other options used inside of the objective function. I would really like to get rid of this behavior as it makes the generic passing of input arguments to objective functions impossible. One always needs to make sure that the updated options is passed. To be specific, the problem in master derives from the fact that the analytic Hessian requires options_.kalman_algo to be either 2 or 4. If this is not the case, newrat sets one of these values. My proposal to remedy this would be to only allow using newrat without options_.analytic_derivation when kalman_algo=2 or kalman_algo=4. That is, when not using analytical derivatives the user must at least specify a Kalman algo that allows for analytical derivatives. Such a check would make changing the options redundant. Or do you envision cases where people want an analytical Hessian based univariate filters while wanting to compute the likelihood in mode-finding based numerical derivatives derived from the multivariate Kalman filter. An additional issue that popped up: currently, newrat with analytical_derivation seems to be broken for most Kalman algorithms. Thus, I cannot test the features/changes I propose. I created a pull request with a unit test for these issues. I attach the files you need to trace out the errors. Best, Johannes

Observation trends and prefiltering
by Johannes Pfeifer 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Dear all, I finally pushed the commits fixing the host of bugs related to trends, prefiltering, first_obs, and loglinear to https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/pull/852. Could you please have a look at them and provide feedback. I would be grateful if this pull request could be merged before any further large changes to the estimation interface. Integreting this was a hassle and I already had to change the code twice before due to larger updates. Thus, I would like to avoid merge conflicts as is the case for many open pull requests. Given the by now rather large difference between the unstable and 4.4 branch, I would be very reluctant to port these fixes to 4.4. What is the plan for the next releases? Additional points: @Michel and @Stephane:Could you please check whether the saving of results conducted in write_smoother_results.m is as desired and discussed in http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/OutputVariables. The most controversial issue from my point of view is that when using the loglinear option, the results of the smoother are saved for the logged variables, i.e. I opted not to invert the logging. The reason for this is that I did not envision cases where someone actually want to estimate a model in percentage deviations but wants to compare the results to unlogged data. If you think this should be different, I can easily change it. I will also provide documentation for the changes once we have agreed the design choices are OK. @Marco: I haven't touched any of the identification routines, but the option to estimate trend coefficients most probably has consequences for that part of the code, too. Best, Johannes

submodules in Dynare
by Houtan 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hello, If I should have any spare time this week, I wanted to work on https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/811. Looking into this has brought up several questions. If I understand correctly, the idea of moving dates and dseries into their own repositories was that they can be used as standalone programs. As such, we want to permit people who can benefit from this code to use it directly instead of having to download Dynare as a whole. In essence, we're treating them as libraries, which I think is a good idea. But, as it's setup now, dseries is not a standalone program. In order to make it a standalone program, we'd need to add dates as a submodule of this program and probably have a configuration script that adds the dates repository to the Matlab/Octave path. At least, that's how I'd like to set up reporting: add dates and dseries as submodules to reporting so that someone could clone the reporting repository, initialize its submodules and use it as a standalone program. Doing so would not present a problem to Dynare users as Dynare could still include a dates submodule, a dseries submodule that contains a dates submodule, and a reporting submodule that contains both a dseries and dates submodule. As long as the git clone or the git submodule init are not issued with the --recursive switch, the nested submodules will not be brought in and hence the code will not be duplicated. Furthermore, I think we should discuss the location of submodules within Dynare. Currently, they're in several places: 1) contrib 2) matlab/utilities/tests 3) matlab/modules This is confusing. Though I don't have a strong opinion as to the logic we should impose on the submodules we include, I believe there should be a logic. Should all external submodules be included in contrib? should all internal matlab submodules be included in matlab/modules? Should all matlab tests be included in tests/modules (matlab/utilities/tests has to be changed, in my opinion)? It would be nice if we could make a decision about the organization of the submodules within Dynare as a group so that, going forward, we have a coherent structure that does not evolve organically but rather in an organized and logical way. Best, Houtan

Octave 4.0 release process
by Sébastien Villemot 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

Hi everyone, The Octave developers have begun the release process for Octave 4.0. The good news is that this release will be based on the current "default" branch, which means that it will include all the classdef-related stuff. The release will apparently also come with an improved Windows binary, and with a finalized GUI. The release process can be monitored at: http://wiki.octave.org/4.0_Release_Checklist It would be good at this stage to test the stable and unstable versions of Dynare against the current state of Octave 4.0, for two reasons: fixing possible new incompatibilities between Dynare and Octave 4.0; and reporting bugs present in Octave 4.0 that may be affecting Dynare, so that they are fixed before the final Octave 4.0 release. I will try to do that if I find the time, but don't hesitate to jump in before me. Best, -- Sébastien Villemot Economist OFCE — Sciences Po http://sebastien.villemot.name

User-defined function on the posterior draws
by Johannes Pfeifer 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Dear Michel and Stephane, one and a half years ago, I proposed functionality to execute user-defined function on the posterior draws (https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/pull/417). Despite inquiring about the status repeatedly with Sebastien and Stephane, I never got any response and let the issue sleep. But now there are again two user questions in the forum that would require such a functionality: http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1 <http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6322> &t=6322 http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1 <http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6268&p=17939#p17939> &t=6268&p=17939#p17939 Thus, I would like to ask again, if there is a design issue that prevents offering such a functionality?

Failing test in lyapunov_symm under Octave
by Sébastien Villemot 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi, I looked at the test failure under Octave of lyapunov_symm. The message is the following: error: eigs: error -3 in dnaupd error: evaluating argument list element number 1 error: evaluating argument list element number 1 error: called from: error: /home/sebastien/dynare/unstable/lyapunov_symm_test_1.m at line 13, column 8 The problem occurs under Debian Wheezy but not under Debian Jessie. My understanding is therefore that it's a problem in either Octave or ARPACK that has been fixed in recent versions. So, unless I've missed something, there's not much that can be done on our side. -- Sébastien Villemot Economist OFCE — Sciences Po http://sebastien.villemot.name

DSGE-VAR Forecasts

Dear Stéphane, I may be wrong, but it looks to me as if the Bayesian forecasts provided for DSGE-VARs are not based on the VAR, but on the DSGE model itself (using dsgesmoother.m).

submodules
by Stéphane Adjemian 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi, This week I started to reorganize part of the codes by replacing some folders by git submodules. The idea is that part of the codes in Dynare may be used for other projects (without putting all Dynare’s routines in the path). For these parts of Dynare it makes more sense to create separate git repositories and to include these as submodules in Dynare. Also this will force to think more about the organization of the routines (which is currently a mess). In master I already moved the codes related to unit tests (formerly under matlab/utilities/tests) and the dates class (matlab/@dates and matlab/utilities/dates subfolders). I am about to do the same with the dseries class (matlab/@dseries and matlab/utilities/dseries subfolders). After your next pull from master you will need to do: ~$ git submodule init ~$ git submodule update Otherwise codes using dseries and/or dates will fail. These submodules points to branches called old-oop-style in: git@github.com:DynareTeam/dates.git and git@github.com:DynareTeam/dseries.git In these repositories, the master branches will be used to rewrite the codes using the new syntax for classes (which is not compatible with the current version, 3.8, of Octave, but will be compatible with Octave 4.2). Another consequence is that if you need to fix a bug in dates or dseries classes you will need to send PR or push patches to DynareTeam/dates.git and DynareTeam/dseries.git (old-oop-style branch) and to update the submodule(s) in DynareTeam/dynare.git (so that they point to the HEAD of old-oop-style branches). I have done the same with the particle folder (codes for the non linear filters) but this will stay in a separate branch (called rewrite-nonlinear-filters) for a while because Fred and I are rewriting these codes so that the non linear filters can be used with any reduced form model (not only the solution of the second order approximation) and this will take a couple of months.

Re: [DynareDev] submodules

Yes Houtan, I think it would also make sense for the reporting because it could be used in other projects/places. I have done the move this week for dates and dseries classes (and m-unit-tests since I need to test these classes without Dynare) because I need them to write a gpm-x model generator (also I understood that Michel may need them for other projects). But, unless someone needs to have reporting (without Dynare), it’s not a priority.

I started the documentation of the submodule m-unit-tests (which is used in Dynare to perform the unitary tests). The documentation is under the doc subfolder and is written with the Sphinx tool (Python) and rest markup language. The result is nice and the source of the documentation is far easier to read (and write) than the Dynare reference manual (which uses texinfo). I also started to rewrite the Dynare reference manual using the same technology in a separate branch but it’s a lot of work... >> >> The docs for the submodules will be available in subfolders of dynare/matlab (which is not consistent with the current design of Dynare). Obviously, when preparing a release we can build the docs in dynare/doc and remove the sources from the dynare/matlab directory.

The idea is that part of the codes in Dynare may be used for other projects (without putting all Dynare’s routines in the path). For these parts of Dynare it makes more sense to create separate git repositories and to include these as submodules in Dynare. Also this will force to think more about the organization of the routines (which is currently a mess). >>>> >>>> In master I already moved the codes related to unit tests (formerly under matlab/utilities/tests) and the dates class (matlab/@dates and matlab/utilities/dates subfolders).

Re: [DynareDev] pull requests
by Michel Juillard 21 Nov '14

I found that discussion: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/294626 The reason is efficiency and doesn't seem to apply to character matrices like M_.endo_names (even if I think that one day we should change it to cellarray) Matlab wording has evolved. It use to be "will be removed in the future" and in recent Matlab version "usage is discouraged". My main worry was to avoid using strmatch() to prepare for removal, but if this threat has disappeared I guess that we can keep using it, at least with character matrices. Maybe we should do dyn_strmatch() to use str(n)cmp() with cellarrays. Best Michel Johannes Pfeifer writes: > Thanks for the comments.

PosteriorFilterSmootherAndForecast.m
by Johannes Pfeifer 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Dear all, In Master we have a function PosteriorFilterSmootherAndForecast.m that seems not be called by any other function. Does anyone know whether it is still used? If not, I would prefer to delete it rather than try to fix the trend and prefiltering bugs still present in that function. A quick and short feedback would be highly appreciated. Best, Johannes

Strange change in solve1
by Johannes Pfeifer 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Dear Michel, when moving from 4.2 to 4.3 we changed line 122 of solve1 from p=-(fjac2+sqrt(nn*eps)*max(sum(abs(fjac2)))*eye(nn))\(fjac'*fvec); to p=-(fjac2+1e6*sqrt(nn*eps)*max(sum(abs(fjac2)))*eye(nn))\(fjac'*fvec); That is, we added a constant of 1e6. Is there a good reason for this? I tried to use the replication code of Eggertsson, Ferrero und Raffo (2014), written for 4.2.5 and it is unable to find the steady state in 4.3 because this constant was added. As this is not the first time people report that 4.2 succeeds in finding steady states that 4.3 did not find, I would suggest moving back.

Unit Tests for Dataset
by Johannes Pfeifer 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Dear Stéphane, I think the unit test for loading mat-files in the new interface needs to be relaxed. It currently loads all variables in a datafile and checks for correct dimensions. This implies that no auxiliary information is allowed to be stored in the mat-file as it will results in errors. I think this is overly restrictive. We should only check for consistency of the declared observable variables and not care about other contents of the m-file. See the attached example file for a display of the problem. Best, Johannes

Release of Dynare 4.4.3
by Stéphane Adjemian 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Dynare friends, We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.4.3. This is a bugfix release. The Windows packages are already available for download at: http://www.dynare.org/download/dynare-stable The Mac and GNU/Linux packages (for Debian and Ubuntu LTS) should follow soon. This release is compatible with MATLAB versions 7.3 (R2006b) to 8.2 (R2013b) and with GNU Octave versions 3.6 to 3.8. Here is a list of the problems identified in version 4.4.2 and that have been fixed in version 4.4.3: - When loading a dataset in XLS, XLSX or CSV format, the first observation was discarded. - Reading data in an Excel-file with only one variable wasz leading to a crash. - When using the k_order_perturbation option (which is implicit at 3rd order) without the use_dll option, crashes or unexpected behavior could happen if some 2nd or 3rd derivative evaluates to zero (while not being symbolically zero) - When using external function, Ramsey policy could crash or return wrong results. - For Ramsey policy, the equation numbers associated with the Lagrange multipliers stored in M_.aux_vars were erroneously one too low - When updating deep parameters in the steady state file, the changes were not fully taken into account (this was only affecting the Ramsey policy). - When using external functions and the bytecode option, wrong results were returned (if second order derivates of the external functions were needed). - The confidence level for computations in estimation, conf_sig could not be changed and was fixed at 0.9. The new option mh_conf_sig is now used to set this interval - Conditional forecasts with non-diagonal covariance matrix used an incorrect decomposition of the covariance matrix. A Cholesky factorization is used. - Option geweke_interval was not effective, Dynare always defaulted to the standard value. - The mode_file option lacked backward compatibility with older Dynare versions. - Loading an mh_mode file with the mode_file option was broken. - Using identification with var_exo_det leaded to crashes (the preprocessor now returns an error if they are used simultaneously) - The identification command did not print results if the initial parameter set was invalid and then crashed later on if the MC sample is bigger than 1 - Inconsistencies between static and dynamic models leaded to crashes instead of error messages (only with block option). - The use of external functions crashed the preprocessor when the derivatives of the external function are explicitly called in the model block. The preprocessor now forbids the use of external functions derivates in the model block. - Using the block option when a variable does not appear in the current period crashed Dynare instead of providing an error message.

Question from a User regarding Liu et al. (2013, Econometrica)
by Johannes Pfeifer 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Dear all, Does anyone know the status of this? Liu et al. (2013, Econometrica) mention, in an appendix to the paper, that they have developed their own optimization algorithm, and that they are working with the Dynare team in order to implement it as part of the standard Dynare software. Do you have any information regarding the status-quo on this issue? Best, Johannes -- Johannes Pfeifer Friesenwall 104 50672 Köln Tel.: +49-(0)221-29873852 Mobil.: +49-(0)170-6936820 Germany

options_,nobs in new data interface
by Johannes Pfeifer 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Dear Stéphane, various functions like dyn_forecast in master still use options_.nobs, but you deleted its setting when using makedataset. Hence, many functions now work with the NaN initialization it got in global_initialization.m. Shall we set options_.nobs in makedataset? Or do we replace all calls to it by something else?

Windows/Octave: upgrade to 3.8.1
by Sébastien Villemot 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi, Just to let you know that I have upgraded the version of Octave used for Dynare on Windows. It is now 3.8.1. The installer can be downloaded there: http://www.dynare.org/download/octave/windows/ If you compile from Cygwin, you'll also have to reinstall the files dynare-mingw32-libs.zip and dynare-mingw64-libs.zip. Tomorrow's Dynare snapshot will be built against Octave 3.8.1. Same for the upcoming Dynare 4.4.3 release. -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics Dynare developer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien
