rank.select: Selection of the cointegrating rank with Information...

In tsDyn: Nonlinear Time Series Models with Regime Switching

Selection of the cointegrating rank with Information criterion.

Description

Selection of the cointegrating rank and the lags with Information criterion (AIC, BIC).

Usage

rank.select(
  data,
  lag.max = 10,
  r.max = ncol(data) - 1,
  include = c("const", "trend", "none", "both"),
  fitMeasure = c("SSR", "LL"),
  sameSample = TRUE,
  returnModels = FALSE
)

## S3 method for class 'rank.select'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'rank.select'
as.data.frame(x, ...)

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

Arguments

data	multivariate time series.
lag.max	Maximum number of lags to investigate.
r.max	Maximum rank to investigate.
include	Type of deterministic regressors to include. See VECM or lineVar.
fitMeasure	Whether the AIC/BIC should be based on the full likelihood, or just the SSR. See explanations in logLik.VECM.
sameSample	Logical. Whether the data should be shortened so that the AIC/BIC are estimated on the same sample. Default to TRUE.
returnModels	Logical, default to FALSE. Whether the output should also contain the list of each model computed.
x	The output from rank.select for the print method.
...	Unused.
object	The output from rank.select for the summary method.

Details

This function estimates the AIC, BIC and Hannan-Quinn for each rank (up to lags.max) and lags (up to lags.max). This method has been shown to be useful to select simultaneously the rank and the lags, see references.

Value

An object of class ‘rank.select’, with ‘print’ and ‘summary methods’, containing among other the matrices of AIC/BIC/HQ, the Likelihood, and best ranks according to each criterion.
