Compute constrained update and smooth estimates of the state variables, state shocks or measurement errors at initial or posterior mode parameter values, or a sample from the prior or the posterior distribution of the parameters. In the event that a sample from the posterior is selected, the number of parameters in the sample is determined by the number of post burn-in posterior draws and the percentage use of posterior draws for impulse responses, variance decompositions and other functions of the parameters. These values are set in the posterior sampling frame on the Options tab.
The constraints are imposed on the state variables using the information from the selected state variable constraints.

NOTE: Constrained filters are only available in the version of YADA that is exclusive to the Forecasting and Policy Modelling Division within the Directorate General Economics of the European Central Bank. The publicly available version of YADA does not include the code for this tool.
