% The exponential term is b_i'*inv(H0)*b_i for the ith equation where b_i = U_i*a0_i.

% With this transformation, we have ai = Ui*bi or Ui'*ai = bi where ai is a vector

% of total original parameters and bi is a vector of free parameters. When no

|
% equation lagged restriction matrix where k (ncoef) is a total number of RHS variables and

|
% ri is the number of free parameters. With this transformation, we have fi = Vi*gi
