Re: [DynareDev] Fwd: Re: SLICOT Library

Hi George, I plan to (for dynare>=4.3) entirely rewrite the kalman filter routines (matlab codes) to allow for unexpected structural breaks. I use Slicot because this library provides a lot of utilities for handling state space models and evaluating kalman filters. For instance, I use a solver for the discrete Riccatti equations, and use the solution for initializing the kalman filter. This gives a much more stable evaluation of the likelihood (also the evaluation is much faster). This evaluation is biased but its variance is smaller. As a first approximation (for large models) I use this trick when looking for the posterior mode (or maximum likelihood). This gives a very good initial guess when estimating the posterior mode. I will also use the library to reduce the size of the state space model and for comparison purposes. Best, Stéphane.

[Trac] #154: Change build process to make libslicot optional on Mac OS X

#154: Change build process to make libslicot optional on Mac OS X --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: houtanb | Owner: sebastien Type: bug | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.2 Component: Build system / Packaging | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- XCode doesn't provide a Fortran compiler so Mac users will either have to find one precompiled or compile it on their own. Hence, libslicot should be optional in the build process. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/154> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

Re: [DynareDev] Problems building Dynare on RH ES4
by Michel Juillard 10 Dec '10

Dear Paul, thank you very much for reporting the problem. It appears that GraphvizDigraph was removed from Boost in version 1.43. See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4762 As Debian is still at version 1.42, we weren't aware from the problem. We are going to fix this. In the meantime, you should try to get version 1.42 of the Boost graphic library. Best, Michel PS. The Dynare forum is a better way to contact us, rather than the email of the webmaster. m On 12/10/2010 04:49 PM, michaud(a)umich.edu wrote: > You are receiving this mail because Paul Michaud > michaud(a)umich.edu > is sending feedback about the site administered by you at http://www.dynare.org. > The message sent was: > > Hi, I'm attempting to build Dynare 4.1.3 from source in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8) environment. To configure I use the following command: ./configure --prefix=/software/dynare/v4.1.3 --with-boost=/software/Boost/v1.45.0 --with-matlab=/software/matlab_2009b MATLAB_VERSION=R2009b According to the configure logs a "make" should build the Dynare preprocessor. Said "make" builds the libmicro.a library just fine. However, in the preprocessor build step it chokes building dynare_m-ModelTree.o. It's complaint is that (starting on line 58) in the MinimumFeedbackSet.hh include file (used by ModelTree.cc) GraphvizDigraph is not declared. The same issue comes up on line 513 of ModelTree.cc. There are some other bits as well but this appears to be the main catalyst. I can forward you the make output but didn't want to clutter up this initial email with all that goo. :-) Thanks much for any help that you can provide! :-) Paul ============================================================================ Paul Michaud Research Computing Stephen M.
