Description

Class for multivariate GAS model simulation.

Objects from the Class

A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

Slots

ModelInfo:

Object of class list. Contains information about the multivariate GAS specification:

  • iT: numeric Time length of simulated observations.

  • iN: numeric Cross sectional dimension.

  • iK : numeric number of (possibly) time–varying parameters implied by the distributional assumption.

  • vKappa numeric vector of unconditional level for the reparametrized vector of parameters.

  • mA matrix of coefficients of dimension iK x iK that premultiply the conditional score in the GAS updating recursion.

  • mB matrix of autoregressive coefficients of dimension iK x iK.

  • Dist character label of the conditional distribution, see DistInfo

  • ScalingType character representing the scaling mechanism for the conditional score, see DistInfo

GASDyn:

Object of class list. Contains: the series of simulated parameters (GASDyn$mTheta), the series of scaled scores (GASDyn$mInnovation), the series of unrestricted simulated parameters (GASDyn$mTheta_tilde), the series of log densities (GASDyn$vLLK), the log likelihood evaluated at its optimum value (GASDyn$dLLK)

Data:

Object of class matrix. Matrix of dimension iN x iT of simulated data
