[Gretl-users] R: Query about FEVDs for BVAR

Dear Giulia, If you are using the BVAR package, unfortunately the FEVD functionality is not available yet. It will be included in a future update, but at the moment there is no function for computing or plotting FEVD within the package. As a temporary solution, you could use the BVAR package to save the parameter draws and then compute the FEVD manually—or alternatively, compute it using the posterior medians. Unfortunately, I’m away for a couple of days, but as soon as I’m back I’ll be happy to provide you with an example of how to do this.

I'm currently working with a BVAR model in Gretl and I'm trying to obtain the Forecast Error Variance Decompositions (FEVDs). I was wondering if it's possible to generate these in Gretl, and if so, what the correct method or code string would be. I've attempted to use BVAR_fevd_plot(res, var) (where var is my variable of interest), but I keep encountering a "parsing error." Any guidance or examples of the correct syntax would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Giulia Chiara
