random_coefmats2 generates random VAR model coefficient matrices
random_coefmats2(p, d, ar_scale = 1)a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
number of time series in the system.
a positive real number. Larger values will likely result larger AR-coefficients.
Returns \(((pd^2)x1)\) vector containing stationary vectorized coefficient matrices \((vec(A_{1}),...,vec(A_{p})\).
The coefficient matrices are generated using the algorithm described by Ansley
and Kohn (1986), which forces stationarity. It's not clear in detail how ar_scale
affects the coefficient matrices. Read the cited article by Ansley and Kohn (1986) AND
