get_regime_autocovs_int calculates the regimewise autocovariance matrices \(\Gamma_{m}(j)\)
\(j=0,1,...,p\) for the given GMVAR model
get_regime_autocovs_int(p, M, d, params, constraints = NULL)a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components.
number of time series in the system.
a real valued vector specifying the parameter values.
Should be size \(((M(pd^2+d+d(d+1)/2+1)-1)x1)\) and have form \(\theta\)\( = \)(\(\upsilon\)\(_{1}\), ...,\(\upsilon\)\(_{M}\), \(\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1}\)), where:
\(\upsilon\)\(_{m}\) \( = (\phi_{m,0},\)\(\phi\)\(_{m}\)\(,\sigma_{m})\)
\(\phi\)\(_{m}\)\( = (vec(A_{m,1}),...,vec(A_{m,p})\)
and \(\sigma_{m} = vech(\Omega_{m})\), m=1,...,M.
Should be size \(((M(d+d(d+1)/2+1)+q-1)x1)\) and have form \(\theta\)\( = (\phi_{1,0},...,\phi_{M,0},\)\(\psi\) \(,\sigma_{1},...,\sigma_{M},\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{M-1})\), where:
\(\psi\) \((qx1)\) satisfies (\(\phi\)\(_{1}\)\(,...,\) \(\phi\)\(_{M}) =\) \(C \psi\). Here \(C\) is \((Mpd^2xq)\) constraint matrix.
Above \(\phi_{m,0}\) is the intercept parameter, \(A_{m,i}\) denotes the \(i\):th coefficient matrix of the \(m\):th
mixture component, \(\Omega_{m}\) denotes the error term covariance matrix of the \(m\):th mixture component and
\(\alpha_{m}\) is the mixing weight parameter.
If parametrization=="mean", just replace each \(\phi_{m,0}\) with regimewise mean \(\mu_{m}\).
\(vec()\) is vectorization operator that stacks columns of a given matrix into a vector. \(vech()\) stacks columns
of a given matrix from the principal diagonal downwards (including elements on the diagonal) into a vector.
The notations are in line with the cited article by Kalliovirta, Meitz and Saikkonen (2016).
a size \((Mpd^2 x q)\) constraint matrix \(C\) specifying general linear constraints
to the autoregressive parameters. We consider constraints of form
(\(\phi\)\(_{1}\)\(,...,\)\(\phi\)\(_{M}) = \)\(C \psi\),
where \(\phi\)\(_{m}\)\( = (vec(A_{m,1}),...,vec(A_{m,p}) (pd^2 x 1), m=1,...,M\)
contains the coefficient matrices and \(\psi\) \((q x 1)\) contains the constrained parameters.
For example, to restrict the AR-parameters to be the same for all regimes, set \(C\)=
[I:...:I]' \((Mpd^2 x pd^2)\) where I = diag(p*d^2).
Ignore (or set to NULL) if linear constraints should not be employed.
Returns an \((d x d x p+1 x M)\) array containing the first p regimewise autocovariance matrices.
The subset [, , j, m] contains the j-1:th lag autocovariance matrix of the m:th regime.
