#195: histval+stoch_simul
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: stepan | Owner: houtanb
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: 4.3
Component: Preprocessor | Version:
Keywords: |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Contrary to what is explained in the documentation, the stochastic
simulations are systematically initialized at the deterministic steady
state. The histval block does not affect the way the simulations are
initialized, and, worse, the preprocessor crashes if option periods is
used (with an error message).
The error message should be removed and the preprocessor should define a
flag (options_.histval=1) whenever the block histval is used.

#94: Remove obsolete code dealing with more than one lead and/or one lag

In the resolution of stochastic models, this code is no longer necessary
since the preprocessor removes any lead and lag of more than one.
But this code should be kept in the deterministic case, since the
preprocessor doesn't do the transformation.

#122: Lower and upper bounds on priors used for two purposes
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: sebastien | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.2
Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.2
Keywords: |
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
The p3 and p4 parameters of estimated_params are currently used for two
distinct purposes:
- specifying the domain of definition of the prior (uniform, generalized
beta and gamma)
- restricting the optimization for the posterior mode on a sub-domain of
the definition of the prior
This double usage of the same values is confusing, and makes some cases
impossible to describe in a MOD file (example: restricting the
optimization on a subdomain of the interval of a uniform).
The fix is probably to distinguish these two usages in the MODĀ file by
introducing a new syntax for restricting the optimization, and reflecting
that change in the M code.

#110: Implement block decomposition for stochastic models

This can be very useful for some models.
For example, the BoE has a model with bond prices with a horizon of 10
years ahead (i.e. 40 periods). The bond prices do not feedback into the
core of the macro model, so the pricing equations are purely forward.
At order 3, Dynare is currently at pains to solve the model. The block
decomposition would dramatically improve performance here.

#121: Revert example MOD files in user guide to mode_compute=4

The estimation examples in the user guide are not behaving nice with
mode_compute=6, because of the non-deterministic nature of estimation.
Many users were confused because on some runs, the example were failing
because the hessian at the mode was not definite positive.
As a quick fix, the mode_compute option was changed to 6 in
4ec5016e5fed4d51e4ac987c1e8f4bcc85f3148f and
7b59c012b992387c2cc11ab5dd5a8175051cce79.
The problem is that the examples are now a lot slower than before.
We should revert back to mode_compute=4 when #85 is fixed and we have a
way to fix the seed.
