FEVD {ConnectednessApproach}

Forecast error variance decomposition

Description

This function computes the orthogonalized/generalized forecast error variance decomposition

Usage

  Phi,
  Sigma,
  nfore = 100,
  type = c("time", "frequency"),
  generalized = TRUE,
  range = NULL
)

Arguments

Phi

VAR coefficient matrix

Sigma

Residual variance-covariance matrix

nfore

H-step ahead forecast horizon

type

Time or Frequency connectedness approach

generalized

Generalized or orthogonalized FEVD

range

Partition range for frequency approach only.

Value

Orthogonalized/generalized time/frequency forecast error variance decomposition
