|
|
|
|
% o parameters a string ('posterior mode','posterior mean','posterior median','prior mode','prior mean') or a vector of values for
|
|
|
|
% the (estimated) parameters of the model.

% REMARKS
|
|
|
|
% [1] This function cannot evaluate the prior density of a dsge-var model...
|
|
|
|
% [2] This function use persistent variables for the dataset and the description of the missing observations. Consequently, if this function
|
|
|
|
% is called more than once (by changing the value of parameters) the sample *must not* change.
