Hi I run a bayes estimation. It runs fine in my office comp. In my hmoe computer where I have a newer matlab version 7.9. It gives the following error error message… If I increase the std error to .1 for the beta prior this problem disappears but then I get nonsense estimates.  
Any clue?

??? Attempted to access k(1); index out of bounds because numel(k)=0.
