AIC.varlse {bvhar}R Documentation

Akaike's Information Criterion of Multivariate Time Series Model

Description

Compute AIC of VAR(p), VHAR, BVAR(p), and BVHAR

Usage

## S3 method for class 'varlse'
AIC(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'vharlse'
AIC(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bvarmn'
AIC(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bvarflat'
AIC(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'bvharmn'
AIC(object, ...)

Arguments

object

Model fit

Details

Let \tilde{\Sigma}_e be the MLE and let \hat{\Sigma}_e be the unbiased estimator (covmat) for \Sigma_e. Note that

\tilde{\Sigma}_e = \frac{s - k}{s} \hat{\Sigma}_e

Then

AIC(p) = \log \det \Sigma_e + \frac{2}{s}(\text{number of freely estimated parameters})

where the number of freely estimated parameters is mk, i.e. pm^2 or pm^2 + m.

Value

AIC value.
