Computes transition values by using a smooth transition function as used in Auerbach and Gorodnichenko (2012). The time series used in the transition function can be detrended via the Hodrick-Prescott filter (see Auerbach and Gorodnichenko, 2013).
get_vals_switching(data_set, specs)
A numeric vector with values from the smooth transition function \(F(z_{t-1})\).
A numeric vector or a panel data set, depending on the model to estimate.
A list with inputs as in lp_nl().
