summary.PosteriorBSVAR {bsvars}

Provides posterior summary of homoskedastic Structural VAR estimation

Description

Provides posterior mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles of the parameters: the structural matrix B, autoregressive parameters A, and hyper parameters.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'PosteriorBSVAR'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class PosteriorBSVAR obtained using the estimate() function applied to homoskedastic Bayesian Structural VAR model specification set by function specify_bsvar$new() containing draws from the posterior distribution of the parameters.

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

A list reporting the posterior mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles of the parameters: the structural matrix B, autoregressive parameters A, and hyper-parameters.

Examples

# upload data

specification  = specify_bsvar$new(us_fiscal_lsuw)

# run the burn-in
burn_in        = estimate(specification, 10)

# estimate the model
posterior      = estimate(burn_in, 20)
