checkConstraintMat checks for some parts that the constraint matrices are correctly set.
checkConstraintMat(p, M, restricted = FALSE, constraints = NULL)a positive integer specifying the autoregressive order of the model.
a positive integer specifying the number of mixture components.
a size (2x1) integer vector specifying the number of GMAR type components M1 in the
first element and StMAR type components M2 in the second element. The total number of mixture components is M=M1+M2.
a logical argument stating whether the AR coefficients \(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p}\) are restricted to be the same for all regimes.
specifies linear constraints applied to the autoregressive parameters.
a list of size \((pxq_{m})\) constraint matrices \(C_{m}\) of full column rank satisfying \(\phi_{m}\)\(=\)\(C_{m}\psi_{m}\) for all \(m=1,...,M\), where \(\phi_{m}\)\(=(\phi_{m,1},...,\phi_{m,p})\) and \(\psi_{m}\)\(=(\psi_{m,1},...,\psi_{m,q_{m}})\).
a size \((pxq)\) constraint matrix \(C\) of full column rank satisfying \(\phi\)\(=\)\(C\psi\), where \(\phi\)\(=(\phi_{1},...,\phi_{p})\) and \(\psi\)\(=\psi_{1},...,\psi_{q}\).
Symbol \(\phi\) denotes an AR coefficient. Note that regardless of any constraints, the nominal autoregressive order
is always p for all regimes.
Ignore or set to NULL if applying linear constraints is not desired.
Doesn't return anything but throws an informative error if finds out that something is wrong.
