Bayesian Estimation Kirmann Model

[Ara_Winter]

I suspect it’s this part that’s giving you an error.

while (k<x){
k=k+1;
}
k=k-1;
if (x-k>0.5){
k=k+1;

At least when I run your model I get:

DIAGNOSTIC(S) FROM PARSER:
Info: left-hand side variable (name=k) occurs on right-hand side of assignment, causing inefficient deep copy to avoid aliasing.
Info: left-hand side variable (name=k) occurs on right-hand side of assignment, causing inefficient deep copy to avoid aliasing.
Info: left-hand side variable (name=k) occurs on right-hand side of assignment, causing inefficient deep copy to avoid aliasing.

See the deep copy warning here

Deep copy warning

edit: Actually, I don’t get that warning with codes below, I could have sworn that I got before… See below. I was just wondering the same thing. Simplest case where we get this warning is when doing something like for(t in 1:10) { x[t+1] = x[t]; } If you just want to get rid of the warning, you could use temporaries yourself: for(t in 1:10) { tmp = x[t]; x[t+1] = tmp; } But whether this is clever in terms of efficiency, I don’t know. The warning suggests that that is what is happening…
