summary.PosteriorHD function

Provides posterior summary of historical decompositions

Provides posterior means of the historical decompositions variable by variable.

## S3 method for class 'PosteriorHD'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

• object: an object of class PosteriorHD obtained using the compute_historical_decompositions() function containing posterior draws of historical decompositions.
• ...: additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Returns

A list reporting the posterior means of historical decompositions for each of the variables.

Examples

# upload data
data(us_fiscal_lsuw)

# specify the model and set seed
set.seed(123)
specification  = specify_bsvar$new(diff(us_fiscal_lsuw))

# run the burn-in
burn_in        = estimate(specification, 10)

# estimate the model
posterior      = estimate(burn_in, 20)

# compute historical decompositions
hds            = compute_historical_decompositions(posterior)
hds_summary    = summary(hds)
