Toolkit for Reduced Form and Structural Smooth Transition Vector Autoregressive Models

v1.2.3 · Jan 26, 2026 · GPL-3

Description

Penalized and non-penalized maximum likelihood estimation of smooth transition vector autoregressive models with various types of transition weight functions, conditional distributions, and identification methods. Constrained estimation with various types of constraints is available. Residual based model diagnostics, forecasting, simulations, counterfactual analysis, and computation of impulse response functions, generalized impulse response functions, generalized forecast error variance decompositions, as well as historical decompositions.
