Provides posterior summary of the structural shocks including their mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles.
Usage
# S3 method for class 'PosteriorShocks'
summary(object, ...)Arguments
- object
an object of class PosteriorShocks obtained using the
compute_structural_shocks()function containing draws the posterior distribution of the structural shocks.- ...
additional arguments affecting the summary produced.
Value
A list reporting the posterior mean, standard deviations, as well as 5 and 95 percentiles of the structural shocks for each of the equations and periods.
