check_constraint_mat: Check the constraint matrices

In uGMAR: Estimate Univariate Gaussian and Student's t Mixture Autoregressive Models

Check the constraint matrices

Description

check_constraint_mat checks for some parts that the constraint matrices are correctly set.

Usage

check_constraint_mat(p, M, restricted = FALSE, constraints = NULL)

Arguments

p	a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
M	For GMAR and StMAR models: a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components. For G-StMAR models: a size (2x1) integer vector specifying the number of GMAR type components M1 in the first element and StMAR type components M2 in the second element. The total number of mixture components is M=M1+M2.
restricted	a logical argument stating whether the AR coefficients \phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p} are restricted to be the same for all regimes.
constraints	specifies linear constraints imposed to each regime's autoregressive parameters separately. For non-restricted models: a list of size (pxq_{m}) constraint matrices C_{m} of full column rank satisfying \phi_{m}=C_{m}\psi_{m} for all m=1,...,M, where \phi_{m}=(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p}) and \psi_{m}=(\psi_{m,1},...,\psi_{m,q_{m}}). For restricted models: a size (pxq) constraint matrix C of full column rank satisfying \phi=C\psi, where \phi=(\phi_{1},...,\phi_{p}) and \psi=\psi_{1},...,\psi_{q}. The symbol \phi denotes an AR coefficient. Note that regardless of any constraints, the autoregressive order is always p for all regimes. Ignore or set to NULL if applying linear constraints is not desired.

Value

Doesn't return anything but throws an informative error if finds out that something is wrong.
