paramList_MSVARmdl function

Parameter list for Markov-switching vector autoregressive model

This function takes the parameter vector of interest and converts it to a list with specific parameter vectors needed for multivariate Markov-switching functions.

paramList_MSVARmdl(theta, q, p, k, msmu, msvar)

Arguments

• theta: Vector of parameters.
• q: Number of time series.
• p: Number of autoregressive lags.
• k: Number of regimes.
• msmu: Boolean indicating if the mean switches with regime.
• msvar: Boolean indicating if the variance switches with regime.

Returns

List with the mean, variance, transition matrix, limiting probabilities, and a vector of state indicators.
