Matlab (2018a) crashes when trying to save fit

[maydinUCI]

Stan program runs without any issues. I can see the results, do plots with them etc. Matlab crashes if I try to save the structural matrix created by Stan. I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem or solution. Thanks

This crash was linked to CmdStan wanting to access expired timers during the save. Matlab tech support recommended upgrade to 2018b (or a downgrade to 2017b) would fix the problem. I tested Stan in Matlab 2018b and "fit" can be saved without causing a crash, although it generates a series of warnings (below). This does not impact on functionality since it is possible to recover the saved fit and work with it. So, I can confirm an upgrade to Matlab 2018b solves the problem.

Any resolution to this?

[maydinUCI]

The cause of the crash was deleted timers associated with the fit output from Stan. The problem was specific to Matlab 2018a. An upgrade to 2018b or a downgrade to 2017b resolves the issue.
