After searching multiple combinations of keywords over the past two days and downloading n R graphics tutorials, I have not been able to find anything online or in my R books about how to save multiple plot panes to PNG. Specifically, I am using the irf() function in the vars package to generate plots of Impulse Response Functions: > x.data <- cbind(na.omit(returns(p[,2])),na.omit(returns(n[,2]))) > colnames(x.data) <- c("p.ret","n.ret") > x.jo <- ca.jo(x.data,type="trace",ecdet="none&quot...

...m using the vars package to calculate the impulse response functions and the forecast error variance decomposition of a VAR model. Unfortunately I do not know whether these functions assume unit or one standard deviation shocks. I tried to look into the code of these functions, but in vain: neither irf, nor vars::irf, nor vars:::irf output the code of the functions. Does someone know whether irf and fevd assume one standard deviation or a unit shock? How can I see the code of these functions? Regards, Martin Ivanov ----------------------------------------------------------------- ?????? ??? - ?...

Hi there, I am trying to make a VECM model which does a loop to pull of long run impact coefficients. The problem is that to calculate these for a,b,c I use the irf() function and they are stored in irf$a, irf$b, irf$c. What I would really like is to be able to call irf$[variablename(x)] where I can loop through i:n for x and it will pull out the right variable. This is a bit of a waste of time for 3 but I want it to do bigger sets and sets of different length...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows how to interpret the values returned by irf function in the MSBVAR library. Some of the literature I have read indicates that impulse responses in the dependent variables are often based on a 1 unit change in the independent variable, but other sources suggest that they are based on a a change of 1 standard deviation. Any ideas which irf use...

Dear R users, I need perform structural analysis on a no intercept VAR model. Unfortunately the functions irf.VAR and dfev that come with the MSBVAR package only work with objects output by the reduced.form.var function, which seems to only evaluate VAR models with intercept. Is there a way to suppress the estimation of intercept term in reduced.form.var? Do I need to modify the code, and if I do, how? Is...

Dear all: There seems to be a problem with scoping, for irf() in vars, when called within a function. Try the following: ----------------------- testfun <- function(lags){ data(Canada) var.2c <- VAR(Canada, p = lags, type = "const") print(var.2c) } testfun(lags=3) ## Everything OK. Now this: testfun2 <- function(lags){ data(Canada) v...

I am fitting a reduced form VAR model using VAR in the vars library. I have several endogenous variables, and two exogenous variables. I would like to explore the effects of a shock to one of the exogenous variables on one of the endogenous variables. Using irf in the vars library only calculates the irf for the endogenous variables, this is obviously by design, is there some theoretical restriction on why it is not possible to look at the irf's from exogenous shocks? Is there anyway to look at the effects of exogenous shocks in R? Do I need to consi...

Hi I have made a R function 'convolve2' for convolution of two real valued vectors based on Rs 'convolve' with option type="open" - see below. (exp.length and irf.length are variables set in another part of the program) I wish to implement the function convolve2 in C and use it in a function used from R with .Call - e.g. I need to call fft in C. All I can find in the source code is do_fft in Internals.h - but how do I use do_fft? Or should I call another C...

hi guys, I am using trivariate VAR model to get 10 step ahead orthogonalized impulse response functions. I want to use rolling sample analysis on the coefficients of the irf but I have no idea how to do that. I looked through the forums but I can't seem to find any solutions. Any suggestions would be helpful. B -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Rolling-Sample-VAR-tp4631328.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.co...

Hi, I have used R rmgarch package to implement EGARCH ADCC model from which I can extract conditional covariance matrix. Now I would like to introduce positive and/or negative shocks to see the asymmetric response of covariance. I have come to know that impulse response function (IRF) or volatility IRF is not compatible for any asymmetric models, therefore, the only way to introduce shocks into the ADCC model can be through simulation given the parameters. For the purpose of introducing shocks and simulating the model, I intend to use dccsim function for simulating the model g...

..., I'd be pleased if someone could provide insights on how to plot impulse response functions in a format that can easily be copied in a word document just as plotting time-series of variables. I had followed the outline suggested by Benhard Pfaff [see http://127.0.0.1:17693/library/vars/html/irf.html] but I am unable to get the impulse response functions in a single graphical format. I then tried this command, where each variable response to an impulse was plotted: opar <-par(mfrow = c(3,2), mar=c(4.2,4.2,1,1), oma=c(0,0,0,0)) plot(svec.irfT1,main="T->G", ylab=""...

...odels in R in order to obtain impulse responses of stock market shock on US economy. I have series of quarterly changes in real gdp, S&P 500 and quarterly level of unemployment for 1985 - 2012 period. My series are stationary. So I did all the steps below. However I don't understand what do irf function results mean. These are the cumulative orthogonal responses to sp variable shock but what is the value of this shock? If for example I have to assess the response on 10% increase of sp variable what should I do with these results? Thanks a lot, Marion > #make a data frame > vardat3...

Dear R users; I'm using ca.jo for a VECM model. Is there a way that I can get sd/p-value to see whether coefficients estimated are statistical significant? Thank you Yours, Yihsu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Does anyone know if the bootstrap CI intervals generated by the irf() function (impulse response function) in the " vars" package are bias corrected? Thanks, Richard Saba [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Robert's suggestion indeed fixed the problem. I kept thinking those entries were necessary in inetd.conf. Also, kind thanks to Fred Gilbert for his prompt responses.:-) John
