statsmodels.tsa.vector_ar.svar_model.SVAR

class statsmodels.tsa.vector_ar.svar_model.SVAR(endog, svar_type, dates=None, freq=None, A=None, B=None, missing='none')

Fit VAR and then estimate structural components of A and B, defined:

\[Ay_t = A_1 y_{t-1} + \ldots + A_p y_{t-p} + B\var(\epsilon_t)\]

Parameters:

endog : array_like

1-d endogenous response variable. The independent variable.

dates : array_like

must match number of rows of endog

svar_type : str

“A” - estimate structural parameters of A matrix, B assumed = I “B” - estimate structural parameters of B matrix, A assumed = I “AB” - estimate structural parameters indicated in both A and B matrix

A : array_like

neqs x neqs with unknown parameters marked with ‘E’ for estimate

B : array_like

neqs x neqs with unknown parameters marked with ‘E’ for estimate

hessian(AB_mask)	Returns numerical hessian.
information(params)	Fisher information matrix of model.
initialize()	Initialize (possibly re-initialize) a Model instance.
loglike(params)	Loglikelihood for SVAR model
predict(params[, exog])	After a model has been fit predict returns the fitted values.
