i write a dynare file as follows. the problem is when i use mode_compute=4 to estimate the code, the error is :
??? Error using ==> chol
Matrix must be positive definite.

dynare_estimation_1(var_list,varargin{:});

evalin(‘base’,fname) ;
could anyone figure out the reason? and another thing,when i use mode_compute=6 to estimate the code,the code can be estimated,but the result is not same every time. what is the different betweenmode_compute=6 and mode_compute=4?
