.. option:: conditional_likelihood
|
||||
|
||||
Do not use the kalman filter to evaluate the likelihood, but instead
|
||||
evaluate the conditional likelihood, based on the first order reduced
|
||||
form of the model, by assuming that the initial state vector is 0 for all
|
||||
the endogenous variables. This approach requires that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The number of structural innovations be equal to the number of observed variables.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The absence of measurement errors (as introduced by the Dynare
|
||||
interface, see documentation about the :bck:`estimated_params` block).
|
||||
|
||||
3. The absence of missing observations.
|
||||
|
||||
The evaluation of the conditional likelihood is faster and more stable
|
||||
than the evaluation of the likelihood with the Kalman filter. Also this
|
||||
approach does not require special treatment for models with unit roots.
|
||||
Note however that the conditional likelihood is sensitive to the choice
|
||||
for the initial condition, which can be an issue if the data are
|
||||
initially far from the steady state. This option is not compatible with
|
||||
``analytical_derivation``.
