In bsvars: Bayesian Estimation of Structural Vector Autoregressive Models

Verifies heteroskedasticity of structural shocks equation by equation

Description

This function will be deprecated starting from version 4.0. It is replaced by verify_identification function.

Displays information that the model is homoskedastic.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'PosteriorBSVAR'
verify_volatility(posterior)

Arguments

posterior

the posterior element of the list from the estimation outcome

Value

Nothing. Just displays a message: The model is homoskedastic.
