求助！关于MRS-GARCH模型的程序调试

最近在研究MRS-GARCH模型，在论坛里下了Juri Marcucci修改后的程序，运行成功，得出的模型参数估计值与他论文中一致。但是当用自己的样本数据跑Marcucci的程序，问题就来了。
楼主用一组2481个数据的价格时间序列跑程序，设T值为2200和2300的时候，跑到一半就出现无穷了，程序卡住运行不下去，然后楼主把设T值为2380，可以运行完，但是得出的模型参数估计值有好几项为0。


不知道怎么回事，样本内外的数据量不是随意选取的吗，Marcucci的股价序列有4098个数据，他T值（也就是样本内数据量）选的是3598，我更改为其他值也可运行，得出的参数估计值很正常。




求问Marcucci的程序在跑其他数据时，除了T值还要修改别的参数吗？楼主是Matlab新手，请大家多多指教！

上面是Juri Marcucci的MRS-GARCH的程序

好像发现了一点头绪，这个var_forec_mrsg_var.m里的T值也要修改

然而修改后，参数估计结果没变，还是好几项为0...

天灵灵地灵灵，论坛大神快显灵

没有头绪...

得出的模型转换状态1的所有参数都为0 是不是状态转换失败了
