Using a model estimated by sparseVAR
, this function checks whether
the resulting VAR is stable. This is the case, whenever the maximum absolute
eigenvalue of the companion matrix corresponding to the VAR is less than one.
This is sometimes also referred to as that the root lies outside the unit circle.
is.stable(mod, verbose = FALSE)
Returns TRUE
if the VAR is stable and FALSE
otherwise
Model estimated using sparseVAR
. Can only be a model
with one coefficient vector. Hence, the model must be estimated using a selection
method. See sparseVAR
for more details.
If TRUE
, then the actual maximum absolute
eigenvalue of the companion matrix will be printed to the console.
Default is FALSE
