summary.SDDRidMSH: Provides summary of verifying homoskedasticity

Description

Provides summary of the Savage-Dickey density ratios for verification of structural shocks homoskedasticity. The outcomes can be used to make probabilistic statements about identification through heteroskedasticity closely following ideas by Lütkepohl& Woźniak (2020).

Usage

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

Value

A table reporting the logarithm of Bayes factors of homoskedastic to heteroskedastic posterior odds "log(SDDR)" for each structural shock, their numerical standard errors "NSE", and the implied posterior probability of the homoskedasticity and heteroskedasticity hypothesis, "Pr[homoskedasticity|data]" and "Pr[heteroskedasticity|data]"

respectively.

Arguments

object

an object of class SDDRidMSH obtained using the verify_identification.PosteriorBSVARMSH function.

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.
