In bsvars: Bayesian Estimation of Structural Vector Autoregressive Models

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.
