Hi
It seems to me that the following values and vectors described on the (new) EstimationModule wiki page are in a way redundant as it looks like that they can be derived from the parameter_description type vector. If so, is there any other reason for keeping them explicitly as part of the structure except that it is useful for performance improvement and for easier understanding of the structure?
- nvx integer scalar (number of estimated structural shock standard deviations). -. nvx_id nvx by 1 vector of integers. -. nvn integer scalar (number of estimated measurement error standard deviations). -. nvn_id nvn by 1 vector of integers. -. ncx integer scalar (number of estimated structural shock correlations). -. ncx_id ncx by 1 vector of integers. -. ncn integer scalar (number of estimated measurement error correlations). -. ncn_id ncn by 1 vector of integers. -. np integer scalar (number of estimated "deep" parameters). -. np_id np by 1 vector of integers.
Best regards
George
