plot.PosteriorShocks function

Plots structural shocks

Plots of structural shocks including their median and percentiles.

## S3 method for class 'PosteriorShocks'
plot(
  x,
  probability = 0.9,
  col = "#ff69b4",
  main,
  xlab,
  mar.multi = c(1, 4.6, 0, 2.1),
  oma.multi = c(6, 0, 5, 0),
  ...
)

Arguments

• x: an object of class PosteriorShocks obtained using the compute_structural_shocks() function containing posterior draws of structural shocks.
• probability: a parameter determining the interval to be plotted. The interval stretches from the 0.5 * (1 - probability) to 1 - 0.5 * (1 - probability) percentile of the posterior distribution.
• col: a colour of the plot line and the ribbon
• main: an alternative main title for the plot
• xlab: an alternative x-axis label for the plot
• mar.multi: the default mar argument setting in graphics::par. Modify with care!
• oma.multi: the default oma argument setting in graphics::par. Modify with care!
• ...: additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Examples

data(us_fiscal_lsuw)                                  # upload data
set.seed(123)                                         # set seed
specification  = specify_bsvar$new(us_fiscal_lsuw)    # specify model
burn_in        = estimate(specification, 10)          # run the burn-in
posterior      = estimate(burn_in, 20, thin = 1)      # estimate the model

# compute structural shocks
shocks         = compute_structural_shocks(posterior)
plot(shocks)                                          # plot
