Dear all,
can anyone tell me what is going in simult.m when replic>0?
The different replications are written into a file
fname = [M_.fname,'_simul'];
but this file has no valid file ending and is - as far as I can tell - never called or used later on.
Moreover, I cannot identify how the moments are computed across replications. After the last run
for i=1:replic
if ~isempty(M_.Sigma_e)
oo_.exo_simul(:,i_exo_var) = randn(options_.periods,nxs)*chol_S;
end
y_ = simult_(y0,dr,oo_.exo_simul,order);
% elimninating initial value
y_ = y_(:,2:end);
if replic > 1
fwrite(fh,y_,'float64');
end
end
the last simulation result y_ is saved into oo_.endo_simul which is then used by disp_moments.m to display the simulated moments. Hence, it looks to me as if only the last replication is used. What am I missing?
Best,
Johannes
