I am using the latest snapshot 64 bit version on Win8 64bit.
I am having an issue the irf function. I get the err Matrix is not positive definite if I
ask for bootstrapped confidence bounds, but there is no problem estimating the impulse
response functions itself. This proble has only occurred with one of my sub-samples, so it
might be hard to replicate. Any thought on what might be going wrong?
Thanks,
Logan

Are you talking about the SVAR package here?

@Sven: I think he speaks about the native irf() command.
I had a similar issue in the past. We discussed this a while ago. The
problem may occur if your data show excessive collinearity, for instance.
If this happens more than 10 times within the 999 bootstrap replications,
gretl breaks the loop and gives this error messages.
First, I circumenvented this issue by increasing the number of possible
unstable cases in the C-code, before I programmed it myself. Alternatively,
one could increase the numbers of non-convergent cases to, let's say, 99 or
so.

No. Just the stock VAR functions, i. e. var and irf. I am working with a block recursive
model, as in CCE 1999.
