Each of the draws from the posterior estimation of models from packages bsvars or bsvarSIGNs is transformed into a draw from the data predictive density.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'PosteriorBSVARMIX'
compute_fitted_values(posterior)

Arguments

posterior

posterior estimation outcome - an object of class PosteriorBSVARMIX obtained by running the estimate function.

Value

An object of class PosteriorFitted, that is, an NxTxS array with attribute PosteriorFitted containing S draws from the data predictive density.
