rho_calc

<p>the equation index for which to calculate rho</p>

Gamma

Sigma

<p>Function to calculate rho (internal use)</p>

Provides two main functionalities.
1 - Given a system of simultaneous equation,
it decomposes  the matrix of coefficients weighting the endogenous variables
into three submatrices: one includes the subset of coefficients that have a causal nature
in the model, two include the subset of coefficients that have a interdependent nature
in the model, either at systematic level or induced by the correlation between error terms.
2 - Given a decomposed model,
it tests for the significance of the interdependent relationships acting in the system,
via Maximum likelihood and Wald test, which can be built starting from the function output.
