In gmvarkit: Estimate Gaussian and Student's t Mixture Vector Autoregressive Models

Calculate the eigenvalues of the "Omega" error term covariance matrices

Description

get_omega_eigens calculates the eigenvalues of the "Omega" error term covariance matrices for each mixture component.

Usage

get_omega_eigens(gsmvar)

Arguments

gsmvar

an object of class 'gsmvar', typically created with fitGSMVAR or GSMVAR.

Value

Returns a matrix with d rows and M columns - one column for each regime. The mth column contains the eigenvalues of the "Omega" error term covariance matrix of the mth regime.
