In order to compute the posterior distribution of the theoretical moments of the endogenous variables, after estimation I run the following:

estimation(datafile=Data,mode\_compute=0,mode\_file=DSGE\_mode,presample=0, prefilter=0, load\_mh\_file, mh\_replic=0,moments\_varendo);

but I get the following error message:

Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

Error in kernel\_density\_estimate (line 82)  
xi(indx+[1 2]) = xi(indx+[1 2]) + [1-temp,temp]’;

Error in posterior\_moments (line 84)  
[density(:,1),density(:,2)] = kernel\_density\_estimate(xx,number\_of\_grid\_points,…

…

What is wrong?

The crash itself seems to be a bug. Have you tried the unstable version?
