attempting to do multivariate modelling in R with known future conditions (in this case variable 'b') using MSBVAR and hc.forecast. The sample code (a paired down representation) does not give anywhere near the expected results - I am assuming that a forecast 8 steps out would approximate 'a' as the sequence 1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1 corresponding to the input set.
I have varied the input length to be longer as well as using longer simulation times. If any one has very small example code such as this or knows how to obtain my expected behavior it is much appreciated! include("MSBVAR") a = c(1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1,1.1,2.1,3.1,100.1) b = c(1.1,1.1,1.1,100.1,1.1,1.1,1.1,100.1,1.1,1.1,1.,100.1,1.1,1.1,1.1,100.1,1.1,1.1,1.1,100.1,1.1,1.1,1.,100.1) K <-ts(cbind(a,b),start=c(1.1,1.1), names=c("a","b")) fit.bvar <- szbvar(K, p = 1, lambda0=0.6, lambda=0.1, lambda3=2, lambda4=0.25,lambda5=0,mu5=0, mu6=0, prior=0) y <- matrix(c(rep(0,8),c(1.10,1.10,1.10,100.1,1.10,1.10,1.0,100.10)),ncol=2) h <- hc.forecast(fit.bvar,y,nsteps=8,burnin=300, gibbs=500,exog=NULL) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
