Examples

# upload data
data(us_fiscal_lsuw)

# specify the model and set seed
set.seed(123)
specification  = specify_bsvar$new(us_fiscal_lsuw)

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

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

# compute fitted values
fitted         = compute_fitted_values(posterior)
fitted_summary = summary(fitted)
