In DavZim/varsExtra: Exports vars output to table and pdf

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>",
  fig.path = "man/figures/README-",
  out.width = "100%"
)

varsExtra

The goal of varsExtra is to make it easier to export vars-results.

Installation

You can install the development version of varsExtra with:

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("DavZim/varsExtra")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(varsExtra)
library(vars)
library(ggplot2)
# set a theme for all plots
theme_set(theme_light())

# load some example data and perform a VAR
data(Canada)

# calculate the VAR
varres <- VAR(Canada, lag = 2, type = "none")

# calculate an Impulse Resonse Function
irfres <- irf(varres)

Flatten the Results into a table

flatten_var(varres)

varsExtra allows you to export the results in table as well as plot format. An easy export would look like this:

plot1 <- ggfy(varres)
ggsave("myplot.pdf", plot1)

table1 <- tabulize(varres, format = "latex")
writeLines(table1, "mytable.tex")

Tables

var_table <- tabulize(varres, format = "latex")
print(var_table)

which, when rendered looks like this

Plots

Plot a VAR result

ggfy(varres)

Plot an Impules-Response Function

ggfy(irfres)
