Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds

Hello, I am trying to estimate confidence intervals, but I keep getting the following error when I try to run the structural_console.m file (attached is the relevant part of the code):

Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds (must not exceed 5).
Error in VECM_bootstrap (line 22)
     resb=resids(bidx(bb,:),:);
Error in Structural_console (line 28)
[Sigmas,PHIs,mis,Xs]=VECM_bootstrap(GAMMA,eps_hat,X,n_boot);

I can't find out what I specified wrong - so I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure this out. Thank you

So first of all I had to change dif to diff in VECM. not sure if that's important.

Also, you aren't passing beta_ml to VECM_bootstrap.

Thank you very much! I just realized I forgot to upload dif.m file; I will add beta_ml and see if it works now

In your code in line 22 you have resb=resids(bidx(bb,:),:); where as with any index resb=resids(A,B). MATLAB is trying to tell you that the array only has five rows but you are trying to call a non-exsistant row greater than or equal to 6. Try using a breakpoint to assess the value of bidx(bb,:) that makes this happen.

In short if I have array; myarray = zeros(5,4)

myarray =

     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0

you try and call myarray(6,1);

Index in position 1 exceeds array bounds (must not exceed 5)

as you are trying to call 'X' which doesn't exsist

myarray =

     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     0     0     0     0
     X     -    -      -  <- Row 6 does not exsist

Thank you very much!
