Command: mode_compute in Dynare

Dynare help (legacy posts)

Hallo Leute

Can anyone help me how to declare the Bayesian method and the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM) in Dynare?

I read Dynare Manual Version 4.4.3, so that I understand mode_compute=4 for MLM. On the other hand, mode_compute=6 for the Bayesian method?

Is that correct?

Thank you so much indeed :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

has nothing to do with Bayesian vs ML. It just determines the optimizer used for finding the mode of the likelihood or posterior. What determines whether your estimation is Bayesian or not is whether you specify prior distribution in your

block. No prior, no Bayesian estimation.
