statsmodels.tsa.vector_ar.var_model.VARProcess

class statsmodels.tsa.vector_ar.var_model.VARProcess(coefs, coefs_exog, sigma_u, names=None, _params_info=None) [source]

Class represents a known VAR(p) process

Parameters:
  • coefs (ndarray (p x k x k)) – coefficients for lags of endog, part or params reshaped
  • coefs_exog (ndarray) – parameters for trend and user provided exog
  • sigma_u (ndarray (k x k)) – residual covariance
  • names (sequence (length k)) –
  • _params_info (dict) – internal dict to provide information about the composition of params, specifically k_trend (trend order) and k_exog_user (the number of exog variables provided by the user). If it is None, then coefs_exog are assumed to be for the intercept and trend.
Returns:
