All the best,

Michel

Actually, the correct solution is

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = zeros(n_varobs,1);

        rdx = find(~isnan(rawdata(:,variable)));

        m = mean(rawdata(rdx,variable));

        data(rdx,variable) = rawdata(rdx,variable)-m;

        bayestopt_.mean_varobs(variable) = m;

end

else

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = mean(rawdata,1)';

    data = rawdata-repmat(bayestopt_.mean_varobs',gend,1);

end

else

data=rawdata;

end

% Transpose the dataset array.

data = transpose(data);

I pushed the fix to the 4.2 branch.

Best, Johannes

*Von:*Johannes Pfeifer [mailto:jpfeifer@gmx.de] *Gesendet:* Freitag, 11. Mai 2012 20:14 *An:* List for Dynare developers (dev@dynare.org) *Betreff:* Bug in dynare_estimation_init in 4.2.5

Dear all,

dynare_estimation_init.m in 4.2.5 currently reads

ifoptions_.prefilter == 1

ifoptions_.missing_data

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = zeros(n_varobs,1);

forvariable=1:n_varobs

        rdx = find(~isnan(rawdata(:,variable)));

        m = mean(rawdata(rdx,variable));

        rawdata(rdx,variable) = rawdata(rdx,variable)-m;

        bayestopt_.mean_varobs(variable) = m;

end

else

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = mean(rawdata,1)';

    rawdata = rawdata-repmat(bayestopt_.mean_varobs',gend,1);

end

end

% Transpose the dataset array.

data = transpose(rawdata);

Hence, rawdata is overwritten with the demeaned data. This leads to wrong smoother plots. The corresponding part should be:

ifoptions_.prefilter == 1

ifoptions_.missing_data

    data=rawdata;

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = zeros(n_varobs,1);

forvariable=1:n_varobs

        rdx = find(~isnan(rawdata(:,variable)));

        m = mean(rawdata(rdx,variable));

        data(rdx,variable) = rawdata(rdx,variable)-m;

        bayestopt_.mean_varobs(variable) = m;

end

else

    bayestopt_.mean_varobs = mean(rawdata,1)';

    data = rawdata-repmat(bayestopt_.mean_varobs',gend,1);

end

end

% Transpose the dataset array.

data = transpose(data);

I tried to push a fix for cherrypicking to 4.2 but I am not sure I succeeded.

Best,

Johannes
