Hi,
matlab crashed during an mh run and I tried to restart it by adding mh_revover to the estimation command, but I received the error message pasted below. Could you tell me what this means…?
I have pasted below the exact estimation command I used. I am using Dynare 4.5.1, but the problem also appears if I use 4.5.7.
I tried to upload the codes including the metropolis folder so that you could reproduce the error message, but that did not work (I guess 3GB is simply too large…?). However, I can provide the files via an ftp server to whoever would like to look into the problem (I just need an email address).
Many thanks,
Ansgar
