Class for holding estimation related results of a vector error correction model (VECM).

Parameters: endog (ndarray (neqs x nobs_tot)) – Array of observations. exog (ndarray (nobs_tot x neqs) or None) – Deterministic terms outside the cointegration relation. exog_coint (ndarray (nobs_tot x neqs) or None) – Deterministic terms inside the cointegration relation. k_ar (int, >= 1) – Lags in the VAR representation. This implies that the number of lags in the VEC representation (=lagged differences) equals $$k_{ar} - 1$$. coint_rank (int, 0 <= coint_rank <= neqs) – Cointegration rank, equals the rank of the matrix $$\Pi$$ and the number of columns of $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$. alpha (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) – Estimate for the parameter $$\alpha$$ of a VECM. beta (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) – Estimate for the parameter $$\beta$$ of a VECM. gamma (ndarray (neqs x neqs*(k_ar-1))) – Array containing the estimates of the $$k_{ar}-1$$ parameter matrices $$\Gamma_1, \dots, \Gamma_{k_{ar}-1}$$ of a VECM($$k_{ar}-1$$). The submatrices are stacked horizontally from left to right. sigma_u (ndarray (neqs x neqs)) – Estimate of white noise process covariance matrix $$\Sigma_u$$. deterministic (str {"nc", "co", "ci", "lo", "li"}) – "nc" - no deterministic terms "co" - constant outside the cointegration relation "ci" - constant within the cointegration relation "lo" - linear trend outside the cointegration relation "li" - linear trend within the cointegration relation Combinations of these are possible (e.g. "cili" or "colo" for linear trend with intercept). See the docstring of the VECM-class for more information. seasons (int, default: 0) – Number of periods in a seasonal cycle. 0 means no seasons. first_season (int, default: 0) – Season of the first observation. delta_y_1_T (ndarray or None, default: None) – Auxilliary array for internal computations. It will be calculated if not given as parameter. y_lag1 (ndarray or None, default: None) – Auxilliary array for internal computations. It will be calculated if not given as parameter. delta_x (ndarray or None, default: None) – Auxilliary array for internal computations. It will be calculated if not given as parameter. model (VECM) – An instance of the VECM-class. names (list of str) – Each str in the list represents the name of a variable of the time series. dates (array-like) – For example a DatetimeIndex of length nobs_tot. **Attributes** nobs (int) – Number of observations (excluding the presample). model (see Parameters) y_all (see endog in Parameters) exog (see Parameters) exog_coint (see Parameters) names (see Parameters) dates (see Parameters) neqs (int) – Number of variables in the time series. k_ar (see Parameters) deterministic (see Parameters) seasons (see Parameters) first_season (see Parameters) alpha (see Parameters) beta (see Parameters) gamma (see Parameters) sigma_u (see Parameters) det_coef_coint (ndarray (#(determinist. terms inside the coint. rel.) x coint_rank)) – Estimated coefficients for the all deterministic terms inside the cointegration relation. const_coint (ndarray (1 x coint_rank)) – If there is a constant deterministic term inside the cointegration relation, then const_coint is the first row of det_coef_coint. Otherwise it’s an ndarray of zeros. lin_trend_coint (ndarray (1 x coint_rank)) – If there is a linear deterministic term inside the cointegration relation, then lin_trend_coint contains the corresponding estimated coefficients. As such it represents the corresponding row of det_coef_coint. If there is no linear deterministic term inside the cointegration relation, then lin_trend_coint is an ndarray of zeros. exog_coint_coefs (ndarray (exog_coint.shape[1] x coint_rank) or None) – If deterministic terms inside the cointegration relation are passed via the exog_coint parameter, then exog_coint_coefs contains the corresponding estimated coefficients. As such exog_coint_coefs represents the last rows of det_coef_coint. If no deterministic terms were passed via the exog_coint parameter, this attribute is None. det_coef (ndarray (neqs x #(deterministic terms outside the coint. rel.))) – Estimated coefficients for the all deterministic terms outside the cointegration relation. const (ndarray (neqs x 1) or (neqs x 0)) – If a constant deterministic term outside the cointegration is specified within the deterministic parameter, then const is the first column of det_coef_coint. Otherwise it’s an ndarray of size zero. seasonal (ndarray (neqs x seasons)) – If the seasons parameter is > 0, then seasonal contains the estimated coefficients corresponding to the seasonal terms. Otherwise it’s an ndarray of size zero. lin_trend (ndarray (neqs x 1) or (neqs x 0)) – If a linear deterministic term outside the cointegration is specified within the deterministic parameter, then lin_trend contains the corresponding estimated coefficients. As such it represents the corresponding column of det_coef_coint. If there is no linear deterministic term outside the cointegration relation, then lin_trend is an ndarray of size zero. exog_coefs (ndarray (neqs x exog_coefs.shape[1])) – If deterministic terms outside the cointegration relation are passed via the exog parameter, then exog_coefs contains the corresponding estimated coefficients. As such exog_coefs represents the last columns of det_coef. If no deterministic terms were passed via the exog parameter, this attribute is an ndarray of size zero. _delta_y_1_T (see delta_y_1_T in Parameters) _y_lag1 (see y_lag1 in Parameters) _delta_x (see delta_x in Parameters) coint_rank (int) – Cointegration rank, equals the rank of the matrix $$\Pi$$ and the number of columns of $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$. llf (float) – The model’s log-likelihood. cov_params (ndarray (d x d)) – Covariance matrix of the parameters. The number of rows and columns, d (used in the dimension specification of this argument), is equal to neqs * (neqs+num_det_coef_coint + neqs*(k_ar-1)+number of deterministic dummy variables outside the cointegration relation). For the case with no deterministic terms this matrix is defined on p. 287 in [1] as $$\Sigma_{co}$$ and its relationship to the ML-estimators can be seen in eq. (7.2.21) on p. 296 in [1]. cov_params_wo_det (ndarray) – Covariance matrix of the parameters $$\tilde{\Pi}, \tilde{\Gamma}$$ where $$\tilde{\Pi} = \tilde{\alpha} \tilde{\beta'}$$. Equals cov_params without the rows and columns related to deterministic terms. This matrix is defined as $$\Sigma_{co}$$ on p. 287 in [1]. stderr_params (ndarray (d)) – Array containing the standard errors of $$\Pi$$, $$\Gamma$$, and estimated parameters related to deterministic terms. stderr_coint (ndarray (neqs+num_det_coef_coint x coint_rank)) – Array containing the standard errors of $$\beta$$ and estimated parameters related to deterministic terms inside the cointegration relation. stderr_alpha (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) – The standard errors of $$\alpha$$. stderr_beta (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) – The standard errors of $$\beta$$. stderr_det_coef_coint (ndarray (num_det_coef_coint x coint_rank)) – The standard errors of estimated the parameters related to deterministic terms inside the cointegration relation. stderr_gamma (ndarray (neqs x neqs*(k_ar-1))) – The standard errors of $$\Gamma_1, \ldots, \Gamma_{k_{ar}-1}$$. stderr_det_coef (ndarray (neqs x det. terms outside the coint. relation)) – The standard errors of estimated the parameters related to deterministic terms outside the cointegration relation. tvalues_alpha (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) tvalues_beta (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) tvalues_det_coef_coint (ndarray (num_det_coef_coint x coint_rank)) tvalues_gamma (ndarray (neqs x neqs*(k_ar-1))) tvalues_det_coef (ndarray (neqs x det. terms outside the coint. relation)) pvalues_alpha (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) pvalues_beta (ndarray (neqs x coint_rank)) pvalues_det_coef_coint (ndarray (num_det_coef_coint x coint_rank)) pvalues_gamma (ndarray (neqs x neqs*(k_ar-1))) pvalues_det_coef (ndarray (neqs x det. terms outside the coint. relation)) var_rep ((k_ar x neqs x neqs)) – KxK parameter matrices $$A_i$$ of the corresponding VAR representation. If the return value is assigned to a variable A, these matrices can be accessed via A[i] for $$i=0, \ldots, k_{ar}-1$$. cov_var_repr (ndarray (neqs**2 * k_ar x neqs**2 * k_ar)) – This matrix is called $$\Sigma^{co}_{\alpha}$$ on p. 289 in [1]. It is needed e.g. for impulse-response-analysis. fittedvalues (ndarray (nobs x neqs)) – The predicted in-sample values of the models’ endogenous variables. resid (ndarray (nobs x neqs)) – The residuals.
