Examples

# Linear Gaussian VAR(p=1) model:
theta_112 <- c(0.649526, 0.066507, 0.288526, 0.021767, -0.144024, 0.897103,
  0.601786, -0.002945, 0.067224)
mod112 <- STVAR(data=gdpdef, p=1, M=1, params=theta_112)

# Update to include the new elements (does not do anything they are already
# included):
mod112 <- stvar_to_sstvars110(mod112)
