summary.PosteriorSigma: Provides posterior summary of structural shocks' conditional standard deviations

Description

Provides posterior summary of structural shocks' conditional standard deviations including their mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles.

Usage

# S3 method for PosteriorSigma
summary(object, ...)

Value

A list reporting the posterior mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles of the structural shocks' conditional standard deviations for each of the shocks and periods.

Arguments

object

an object of class PosteriorSigma obtained using the compute_conditional_sd() function containing posterior draws of conditional standard deviations of structural shocks.

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Examples

# upload data
data(us_fiscal_lsuw)

# specify the model and set seed
set.seed(123)
specification  = specify_bsvar_sv$new(us_fiscal_lsuw)

# run the burn-in
burn_in        = estimate(specification, 5)

# estimate the model
posterior      = estimate(burn_in, 5)

# compute structural shocks' conditional standard deviations
sigma          = compute_conditional_sd(posterior)
sigma_summary  = summary(sigma)
