Your help is greatly appreciated. > Hi, in hansl the matrix indices start at 1, not at zero, so that's the error. Apparently here k=1, so k-1=0. How can k=1 happen? Looking at the code (SVAR 0.994 shipped with my gretl version) of 'init_C' shows that 'k=cols(Ss)', so the matrix 'Ss' must have zero columns. Now Ss is created by 'Ss = imp2exp(Rd)'. In terms of programming it's probably an indication that some further input checking should be added to the package. In terms of your application, it could be that something's wrong with your restrictions. (Since 'Rd' seems to be related internally to the restrictions, I think -- I'm not the author.) So I suggest to double-check your restrictions. You can also show them to us.
