@item mode_check
Tells Dynare to plot the posterior density for values around the
computed mode for each estimated parameter in turn. This is helpful to
diagnose problems with the optimizer

likelihood function resulting from the particle filter is not differentiable
anymore due to random chatter introduced by selecting different particles for
different parameter values. For this reason, the @code{mode_check}-plot may look wiggly.
