FCVAR

An R Package for the Fractionally Cointegrated VAR Model

Description

Estimation and inference using the Fractionally Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. It includes functions for model specification, including lag selection and cointegration rank selection, as well as a comprehensive set of options for hypothesis testing, including tests of hypotheses on the cointegrating relations, the adjustment coefficients and the fractional differencing parameters. See the file FCVAR_README.pdf for examples and the Webpage https://sites.google.com/view/mortennielsen/software for more information about the FCVAR model.
