Is simul_replic still works?

Stochastic simulations
1

I want to display the results of multiple stochastic simulations with different random seeds. While reviewing the documentation, I found the simul_replic option. However, I am unsure if this option serves that purpose. To investigate further, I examined the GitHub repository (GitHub - albop/dynare: Dynare) and looked into the matlab/stoch_simul.mfile. It seems that simul_replic is not utilized in the code; I could not find references to options_.simul_replic.

Question 1:
Has the simul_replic option been deprecated?
Question 2:
What is the recommended way to perform and analyze multiple stochastic simulations with different random seeds?

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my questions. I deeply appreciate your guidance and expertise on this matter.

  1. No, simul_replic is not yet deprecated. It is used in simult.m.
  2. See e.g. DSGE_mod/Hansen_1985 at master · JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod · GitHub
