summary.varshrinkest: Summary method for an object of class "varshrinkest",
VAR parameters estimated by VARshrink()
Description
Extend summary.varest() to the class "varshrinkest" to incorporate
adapted methods for the new classes:
summary.shrinklm(), logLik.varshrinkest(), roots_sh().
Usage
# S3 method for varshrinkest
summary(object, equations = NULL, ...)
Value
Returns a list with class attribute "varshsum" and "varsum" which
contains the following elements: names, logLik, obs, roots, type, call,
varresult, covres, corres, Sigma, dof.
Arguments
object
An object of class "varshrinkest", usually
a result of call to "VARshrink()".
equations
Subset of names of endogenous time series variables
to summarize.
...
Currently not used.
Details
The code has been modified to eliminate direct calls to the data matrices
($y, $datamat) and to use the effective numbers of parameters
obtained from the shrinkage estimates. The output additionally includes the
covariance matrix Sigma and the degrees-of-freedom dof
of the multivariate t-distribution for the residuals.
