Hi All,

Running into the following error message every now and then. And was asked to bring that into the help list (see: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37918):

address@hidden:~/dev/economics/rania$ octave min_estimation.m 

GNU Octave, version 3.6.2

...

error: `ability_w_index' undefined near line 547 column 85

error: evaluating argument list element number 6

error: called from:

error:   /home/yuval/dev/economics/rania/estimation_f.m at line 547, column 35

error:   /home/yuval/dev/economics/rania/minestimation_test.m at line 5, column 6

error:   /home/yuval/dev/economics/rania/min_estimation.m at line 39, column 11

the variable is being set with a value at line 363 and there is no branching that i can see that can cause it not to be defined at line 547.

It is defined on line 363 only if "w_draws_b(draw_b,t,HS,1)<P_HUSBAND" condition is true.
Apparently it is not the case here. You can verify that by adding some disp() statements just after
that line.
 

Thanks,

Yuval

Dmitri.
