summary.SDDRidMIX: Provides summary of verifying shocks' normality

In bsvars: Bayesian Estimation of Structural Vector Autoregressive Models

Provides summary of verifying shocks' normality

Description

Provides summary of the Savage-Dickey density ratios for verification of structural shocks normality. The outcomes can be used to make probabilistic statements about identification through non-normality.

Usage

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

Arguments

object	an object of class SDDRidMIX obtained using the verify_identification.PosteriorBSVARMIX function.
...	additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

A table reporting the logarithm of Bayes factors of normal to non-normal shocks posterior odds "log(SDDR)" for each structural shock, their numerical standard errors "NSE", and the implied posterior probability of the normality and non-normality hypothesis, "Pr[normal|data]" and "Pr[non-normal|data]" respectively.
