* give the possibility of calibrating measurement errors in the "shocks" blocks (only for observed endogenous variables)
* M_.H is now initialized in the preprocessor
* only one "varobs" statement is now accepted in a MOD file
When the aggregate variance differs from the shock of the sum of the effects of individual shocks by more than 0.01% a warning is displayed.
This behaviour is documented in the reference manual.
* fix options stack_solve_algo={2,3,4} (closes#68)
* fix crashes for singular normalizations (closes#44) and implement decreasing cutoff
* fail for stack_solve_algo=2 under Octave (because there is no gmres function in Octave)

* for MATLAB 64-bit under Windows, indicate where to download the required MS Visual C++ runtime for MEX files
* added a few explanations on auxiliary variables
* fixed mode_compute option of estimation
* indicate that only first order supported by ramsey_policy
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3238 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* in the preprocessor, fail if k_order_solver given without use_dll
* updated the reference manual, in particular w.r. to the new wiki page on MEX compilation under Windows
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3216 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* removed "options_.simul", and instead test if "options_.periods" is non-zero
* test for the incompatibility of options "periods" and "hp_filter" in "stoch_simul.m", instead of in the preprocessor
Reference manual:
* removed "simul" options, updated "periods"
* updated "order" option (for 3rd order)
* added "k_order_solver" option
* give some hints for installing a compiler for users of MATLAB for Windows
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3188 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* fixed a bug with EXPECTATION operator: now handle model local variables
* substitute EXPECTATION operator even in deterministic models (for avoiding crashes, even if use of this operator doesn't make sense there)
* forbid the use of EXPECTATION and STEADY_STEATE outside model block
* minor implementation changes in EXPECTATION and STEADY_STATE operators
reference manual:
* documented EXPECTATION and STEADY_STATE operators
* added a note in write_latex_{static,dynamic}_model commands documentation about auxiliary variables and other model transformations
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3145 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* reworked a little bit the implementation
* documented the command in the reference manual
* added a test
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3143 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* reference manual: documented the new option, fixed XML conformance of the document
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3135 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* Changed the conditional forecast section in the manual.
* Removed the calibration token from the preprocessor.
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3067 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* added interface in the MOD file, with a new option "aim_solver" to stoch_simul and estimation
* documented the option in the reference manual
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3059 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* Reference manual: created a section on forecasting (with "forecast" option), and added the three new statements to that section
git-svn-id: https://www.dynare.org/svn/dynare/trunk@3049 ac1d8469-bf42-47a9-8791-bf33cf982152
* added Houtan to the list of developers, moved Ondra to the list of past contributors
* updated installation instructions
* options of "dynare" command: added "nolinemacro" and "onlymacro", updated "savemacro"
* mention the possibility of specifying LaTeX names for "var", "varexo", "varexo_det", "parameters"
* mention that now leads/lags can be used on exogenous variables
* mention that arbitrary expressions can now be specified in the "estimated_params" family of commands
* added new commands: "change_type", "model_comparison"
* capitalize "MATLAB" throughout the manual
* remove obsolete index and quasi-empty chapter pointing to Collard's guide
