🦘bsvars.org design concept pt. 4 🐨
🐋 Once you work with Bayesian structural dynamic non-linear system modelling everything takes a while! So, we delegate EVERYTHING to much faster C++ code! 🦈
-
🖤 bsvars.org design concept pt. 3 💜
⭐ We use RcppArmadillo for linear algebra because we found it very fast on matrix operations and RNGs, well-documented, easy to use in packages. We 🖤 it! Seriously!

💛 bsvars.org design concept pt. 2 ❤️
⭐ We implemented C++ code using Rcpp and could not be more glad about that! It's a fantastic facility with many functionalities.
✨ And it seems that @eddelbuettel is answering all Rcpp questions the following Canadian morning, which is so great!
-
🚀 in the nearest posts we'll present the design concept behind the R packages 📦 @bsvars 🚀
Our driving principle was: SPEED :cpp_language: and CONVENIENCE :rstats:
Stay tuned for more!

This is so cool!✨ Historical decomposition in the bsvars ❤️💛 and bsvarSIGNs 🖤💜 packages are fixed now! 🐛
Adam spotted a mistake in the C++ code for historical decompositions that was giving us some headache - and triggered many comments from the users - and submitted a Pull Request fixing some indices. Thank you Adam! 🚀⭐

💓 Coding Bayesian structural multivariate dynamic models, where each of the adjectives adds up to computational complexity, requires the best solutions, so…
💗 I decided that combining the best of the two worlds, fast computations with C++ and the ease of data analysis with R, is the way to go.
-
Luis asked why have I chosen to develop packages for Bayesian SVARs in R. This is why:
💝 I really like the format of R packages how it’s standardised and checked at the CRAN assuring quality.
💖 R was missing tools for SVARs and particularly on Bayesian SVARs. There were some such packages, but the literature and users’ needs are much broader.
💘 The core code for most of algorithms in our packages is written in C++ which is much faster.

Coming up soon! A presentation of my 𝗥 packages 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘀 and 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝘀 for 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕊𝕠𝕔𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝔾𝕠𝕠𝕕! Join us!
I love the movement and the IJF editors statement. And I'm working to answer the call.
So, this is my first chance!

Working with exogenous variables and deterministic terms in Structural Vector Autoregressions identified by sign, zero, AND narrative restrictions?
- Yes, please, and you're welcome! You just need our 𝗥 package 𝗥 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝘀!
-
Scenario analysis a la Juan Antolín-Díaz, Ivan Petrella, Rubio-Ramírez (2021, JME)? YES! Gianni shows how to do it using the estimation output from our 𝗥 package 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝘀! How cool is that?!

This is huge! A vignette for the 𝗥 package 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘀 is finally out! And it's good!! (if you ask me 😉 )
It will be featured in the upcoming version of the package - soon on CRAN!
https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.15090

A new version 1.0.1 of the 𝗥 package 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝘀 has just landed on 𝙲𝚁𝙰𝙽! JUHU! 🖤💜
We improved the 𝙲++ code so it passes the strictest checks! 😼 We also improved the documentation and examples there 😽
-
Look at that! Version 2.0.0 of the 𝗥 package 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘀 has a new 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 routine facilitating alternative workflows also using the |> pipe.
Code according to your style and needs:
- get everything under control 🤖
- jump straight to the results 👾
- separate the estimation from the analysis! 👽 -
Hey, a new version 2.0.0. of my 𝗯𝘀𝘃𝗮𝗿𝘀 package has lots of new options, such as functions for predictive and structural analyses. But it also comes with a new 𝗽𝗸𝗴𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 website! 🕸️📦💯
