Automatically use default option in bayesian estimation?

Dynare help (legacy posts)

Dears,

While we run Bayesian estimation using dynare, we need specify the ‘‘options [default is 1] =’’.
Is it possible to skip this input? Or could we write a small program in Matlab to automatically fill in the options and continue the estimation.

In the unstable version, you can use the

option. In Dynare 4.4.3 you need to copy the names of the endogenous variables after the estimation command like you would to with stoch_simul

Thanks! Just to confirm that the unstable version mentioned is the one available in dynare.org/download/dynare-unstable

Yes.

Many thanks!
Last question is: the option mean the one inside command ‘estimation’.
the command should be something like:
estimation(datafile=xxxx,
consider_all_endogenous,
…
);

right?

Best,

Yes, see the manual to the unstable version.
