I have not yet looked into this issue but I am starting to - when do you need it (and whole Dynare 4.2 code) fixed by for the release? Is the next week ok or do you want it by end of this week (tomorrow?)
Obviously we can’t release PI in Dynare 4.2 before it is fixed under Octave. So as soon as possible is obviously the best.
Basically, PI does not and cannot rely on, or use mjdgges.
No problem.
Also, as far as the PI manual page is concerned, can you just add the core usage info from the PI wiki page to the manual on the lines of what you suggested? When I designed teh wiki I had the manual pagin mind.
Ok I will do that.
PS: The current use of PI varobs was discussed and this is the way Michel and Joe wanted it.
Ok.
Concerning the QZ discrepancy between MATLAB and Octave, are you using the qz() primitive ? Because this primitive does not behave the same way under Octave and MATLAB. The convention for Q is different under Octave (We have AA = Q*A*Z under Matlab and AA = Q'*A*Z under Octave). And Octave is only able to compute real QZ, while MATLAB can do both complex and real, and does complex by default. See the respective documentation for more details.
Best,
