Unable to install package

[Allisterh]

Hi Max,

I just happened to stumble across your package here on github. I found it extremely informative for some work I was doing on Bayesian VARS. However, I was trying to install your package and for reason it keep failing. The error seems to be a function in one of the C++ files. I was wondering if you can help in addressing this issue. I am nit familiar with C++ otherwise I would have given it a shot.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I am not really maintaing this toolbox anymore. Nevertheless, I had a quick look at it and I think I did a quick fix - at least I can install the package now via devtools. But if you're interested in some specific stuff, you can also drop me a mail.

Best,
Max

Hi Max, Thank you for your very prompt response and by the way the installation of the package now works perfectly. I understand that you are not updating this project anymore, but I have found utility in this package. Therefore, I would like to ask a few more questions, the first is related to the scale factor in the irf function, what arguments does this take? numeric or character arguments. The second is related to the hd function, the parm R argument, what arguments does this take? Again sorry about this but thanks for your response. Regards Allister

Hi Allister,

sure, I am happy to answer your questions.

The scale factor in the 'shockinfo' argument of the 'irf' function class takes as input value some numeric value - integer or double.

The parameter 'R' in the 'hd' function takes as input argument a rotation matrix from the class 'matrix'. This is for the case if you want to fix the rotation matrix (when using sign-restrictions, e.g., for a median/mean model etc.)

Hope this helps.

Best,
Max

Awesome max, this indeed helps. Thanks so much for your help.
