msVAR
Create Markov-switching dynamic regression model
Description
The msVAR
function returns an
msVAR
object that specifies the functional form of a Markov-switching dynamic regression
model for the univariate or multivariate response process
yt. The msVAR
object also
stores the parameter values of the model.
An msVAR
object has two key components:
The components completely specify the model structure. The Markov chain transition matrix and submodel parameters, such as the AR coefficients and innovation-distribution variance, are unknown and estimable unless you specify their values.
To estimate a model containing unknown parameter values, pass the model and data to
estimate
. To work
with an estimated or fully specified msVAR
object, pass it to an object function.
Alternatively, to create a threshold-switching dynamic regression model, which has a
switching mechanism governed by threshold transitions and observations of a threshold
variable, see threshold
and tsVAR
.
Creation
Description
optionally sets the SeriesNames property, which
associates the names Mdl
= msVAR(mc
,mdl
,'SeriesNames'
,seriesNames)seriesNames
to the time series of the
model.
Input Arguments
mc
— Discrete-time Markov chain for switching mechanism among states
dtmc
object
mdl
— State-specific dynamic regression submodels
vector of arima
objects | vector of varm
objects
State-specific dynamic regression submodels, specified as a length mc.NumStates
vector of model objects individually constructed by arima
or varm
. All submodels must be of the same type (arima
or varm
) and have the same number of series.
Unlike other model estimation tools, estimate
does not infer the size of submodel regression coefficient arrays during estimation. Therefore, you must specify the Beta
property of each submodel appropriately. For example, to include and estimate three predictors of the regression component of univariate submodel j
, set mdl(
.j
).Beta = NaN(3,1)
msVAR
processes and stores mdl
in the property
Submodels.
Properties
You can set only the SeriesNames
property when you create a model by
using name-value argument syntax or by using dot notation. MATLAB® derives the values of all other properties from inputs mc
and mdl
.
For example, create a Markov-switching model for a 2-D response series, and then label the
first and second series "GDP"
and "CPI"
,
respectively.
Mdl = msVAR(mc,mdl); Mdl.SeriesNames = ["GDP" "CPI"];
NumStates
— Number of states
positive scalar
This property is read-only.
Number of states, specified as a positive scalar.
Data Types: double
NumSeries
— Number of time series
positive integer
This property is read-only.
Number of time series, specified as a positive integer. NumSeries
specifies the dimensionality of the response variable and innovation in all submodels.
Data Types: double
StateNames
— State labels
string vector
This property is read-only.
State labels, specified as a string vector of length
NumStates
.
Data Types: string
SeriesNames
— Unique Series labels
string(1:numSeries)
(default) | string vector | cell array of character vectors | numeric vector
Unique series labels, specified as a string vector, cell array of character vectors,
or a numeric vector of length numSeries
.
msVAR
stores the series names as a string vector.
Data Types: string
Switch
— Discrete-time Markov chain for switching mechanism among states
dtmc
object
This property is read-only.
Discrete-time Markov chain for the switching mechanism among states, specified as a
dtmc
object.
Submodels
— State-specific vector autoregression submodels
vector of varm
objects
This property is read-only.
State-specific vector autoregression submodels, specified as a vector of varm
objects of length NumStates
.
msVAR
removes unsupported submodel components.
For
arima
submodels,msVAR
does not support the moving average (MA), differencing, and seasonal components. If any submodel is a composite conditional mean and variance model (for example, itsVariance
property is agarch
object),msVAR
issues an error.For
varm
submodels,msVAR
does not support the trend component.
msVAR
converts submodels specified as arima
objects to 1-D varm
objects.
Notes
NaN
-valued elements in either the properties ofSwitch
or the submodels ofSubmodels
indicate unknown, estimable parameters. Specified elements, except submodel innovation variances, indicate equality constraints on parameters in model estimation.All unknown submodel parameters are state dependent.

More About
Markov-Switching Dynamic Regression Model
A Markov-switching dynamic regression model of a univariate or multivariate response series yt describes the dynamic behavior of the series in the presence of structural breaks or regime changes. A collection of state-specific dynamic regression submodels describes the dynamic behavior of yt within the regimes.
where:
st is a discrete-time Markov chain representing the switching mechanism among regimes (
Switch
).n is the number of regimes (
NumStates
).is the regime i dynamic regression model of yt (
Submodels
(i)). Submodels are either univariate (ARX) or multivariate (VARX).xt is a vector of observed exogenous variables at time t.
θi is the regime i collection of parameters of the dynamic regression model, such as AR coefficients and the innovation variances.
Hamilton [2] proposes a general model, known as Markov-switching autoregression (MSAR), allowing for lagged values of the switching state s. Hamilton [3] shows how to convert an MSAR model into a dynamic regression model with a higher-dimensional state space, supported by msVAR
