There were two problems:

- c1omegaoc and c1omegaoy weren’t deep parameters, so it didn’t make sense to use priors for these parameters. I simple got rid of them in the estimated\_params block.  
-I also had nograph, nodiagnostic, tex as options in the estimation. Even so, I was able to see the graphs of shock decomposition due to the graph\_decomp.m file but not all the others graphs.

My gratitude for all the support you gave until this moment.

Dear Pro. Jpfeifer, has this issue been solved? I encountered the same problem when I am trying to estimate my dsge model using dynare.
