function dataset_info=var_sample_moments(nlag, var_trend_order, dataset_, dataset_info)%datafile,varobs,xls_sheet,xls_range) % Computes the sample moments of a VAR model. % % The VAR(p) model is defined by: % % y_t = \sum_{k=1}^p y_{t-k} A_k + z_t C + e_t for t = 1,...,T % % where y_t is a 1*m vector of observed endogenous variables, p is the % number of lags, A_k is an m*m real matrix, z_t is a 1*q vector of % exogenous (deterministic) variables, C is a q*m real matrix and % e_t is a vector of exogenous stochastic shocks. T is the number % of observations. The deterministic exogenous variables are assumed to % be a polynomial trend of order q = "var_trend_order". % % We define: % % <> Y = (y_1',y_2',...,y_T')' a T*m matrix, % % <> x_t = (y_{t-1},y_{t-2},...,y_{t-p},z_t) a 1*(mp+q) row vector, % % <> X = (x_1',x_2',...,x_T')' a T*(mp+q) matrix, % % <> E = (e_1',e_2',...,e_T')' a T*m matrix and % % <> A = (A_1',A_2',...,A_p',C')' an (mp+q)*m matrix of coefficients. % % So that we can equivalently write the VAR(p) model using the following % matrix representation: % % Y = X * A +E % % % INPUTS % o nlag [integer] Number of lags in the VAR model. % o var_trend_order [integer] Order of the polynomial exogenous trend: % = -1 no constant and no linear trend, % = 0 constant and no linear trend, % = 1 constant and linear trend. % o dataset_ [dseries] The sample. % o dataset_info [structure] data set information % % OUTPUTS % dataset_info [structure] containing the following new fields % o mYY [double] Y'*Y an m*m matrix. % o mXY [double] X'*Y an (mp+q)*m matrix. % o mYX [double] Y'*X an m*(mp+q) matrix. % o mXX [double] X'*X an (mp+q)*(mp+q) matrix. % o Ydata [double] Y a T*m matrix. % o Xdata [double] X a T*(mp+q) matrix. % % SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS % None. % Copyright © 2007-2021 Dynare Team % % This file is part of Dynare. % % Dynare is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify % it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by % the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or % (at your option) any later version. % % Dynare is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, % but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of % MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
