sim_mnvhar_coef {bvhar}

Generate Minnesota BVAR Parameters

Description

This function generates parameters of BVAR with Minnesota prior.

Usage

sim_mnvhar_coef(bayes_spec = set_bvhar(), full = TRUE)

Arguments

bayes_spec

A BVHAR model specification by set_bvhar() (default) or set_weight_bvhar().

full

Generate variance matrix from IW (default: TRUE) or not (FALSE)?

Details

Normal-IW family for vector HAR model:

\Phi \mid \Sigma_e \sim MN(M_0, \Omega_0, \Sigma_e)

\Sigma_e \sim IW(\Psi_0, \nu_0)

Value

List with the following component.

coefficients

BVHAR coefficient (MN)

covmat

BVHAR variance (IW or diagonal matrix of sigma of bayes_spec)
