plot.PosteriorFEVD {bsvars}

Plots forecast error variance decompositions

Description

Plots of the posterior means of the forecast error variance decompositions.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'PosteriorFEVD'
plot(
  x,
  cols,
  main,
  xlab,
  mar.multi = c(1, 4.6, 0, 4.6),
  oma.multi = c(6, 0, 5, 0),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

an object of class PosteriorFEVD obtained using the compute_variance_decompositions() function containing posterior draws of forecast error variance decompositions.

cols

an N-vector with colours of the plot

main

an alternative main title for the plot

xlab

an alternative x-axis label for the plot

mar.multi

the default mar argument setting in graphics::par. Modify with care!

oma.multi

the default oma argument setting in graphics::par. Modify with care!

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.
