VAR.irf: Orthogonalized impluse response functions from an estimated VAR(p) model

Description

This function returns Orthogonalized impluse response functions

Usage

VAR.irf(b, p, sigu, h=10,graphs=FALSE)

Value

impmat

matrix that contains orthogonalized impulse-responses

Arguments

b

VAR coefficient matrix, from VAR.est or similar estimation function

p

VAR order

sigu

VAR residual covariance matrix, from VAR.est or similar estimation function

h

response horizon, the default is set to 10

graphs

logical, if TRUE, show the impulse-response functions, the default is FALSE
