Provides summary of verifying homoskedasticity

Source: R/summary.R
summary.SDDRvolatility.Rd

Provides summary of the Savage-Dickey density ratios for verification of structural shocks homoskedasticity.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'SDDRvolatility'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class SDDRvolatility obtained using the verify_volatility() function.

...

additional arguments affecting the summary produced.

Value

A table reporting the logarithm of Bayes factors of homoskedastic to heteroskedastic posterior odds "log(SDDR)" for each structural shock, their numerical standard errors "NSE", and the implied posterior probability of the homoskedasticity and heteroskedasticity hypothesis, "Pr[homoskedasticity|data]" and "Pr[heteroskedasticity|data]" respectively.
