Value

List of necessary inputs to generate the graphs of the outputs of the desired model

Arguments

ModelType

A character vector indicating the model type to be estimated.

Horiz

A numeric scalar specifying the desired analysis horizon for the outputs.

ListOutputWished

A list of desired graphical outputs. Available options are: "Fit", "IRF", "FEVD", "GIRF", "GFEVD", "TermPremia".

OutputLabel

A string for the name of the output label to be stored.

WishStationarityQ

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether to impose that the largest eigenvalue under Q is strictly smaller than 1. Set to 1 to impose the restriction, or 0 otherwise.

DataFrequency

A character vector specifying the data frequency. Available options: "Daily All Days", "Daily Business Days", "Weekly", "Monthly", "Quarterly", "Annually".

WishGraphYields

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to generate graphs for yields. Default is 0.

WishGraphRiskFactors

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to generate graphs for risk factors. Default is 0.

WishOrthoJLLgraphs

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to generate orthogonalized JLL-based graphs. Default is 0.

WishForwardPremia

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to generate forward premia graphs. Default is 0.

LimFP

A numeric vector containing the maturities associated with the start and end dates of the loan.

WishBootstrap

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to perform bootstrap-based estimation. Default is 0.

ListBoot

A List containing the following four elements:

1. methodBS: Desired bootstrap method: (a) 'bs' for standard residual bootstrap, (b) 'wild' for wild bootstrap, or (c) 'block' for block bootstrap.

2. BlockLength: If block bootstrap is chosen, specify the block length (numeric scalar).

3. ndraws: Number of bootstrap draws.

4. pctg: Confidence level expressed in basis points (numeric vector).

WishForecast

A binary variable (1 or 0) indicating whether the user wishes to generate forecasts. Default is 0.

ListForecast

A list containing the following three elements:

1. ForHoriz: forecast horizon;

2. t0Sample: Index of the first variable in the information set.

3. t0Forecast: Index of the first forecast cut-off date.

4. ForType: A string specifying the desired forecast type. Available options are: "Rolling" or "Expanding".

UnitYields

A character string indicating the maturity unit of yields. Options are: (i) "Month" for yields expressed in months, or (ii) "Year" for yields expressed in years. Default is "Month".
