bayesianVARs: MCMC Estimation of Bayesian Vectorautoregressions

Efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for the fully Bayesian estimation of vectorautoregressions (VARs) featuring stochastic volatility (SV). Implements state-of-the-art shrinkage priors following Gruber & Kastner (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.ijforecast.2025.02.001>. Efficient equation-per-equation estimation following Kastner & Huber (2020) <doi:10.1002/for.2680> and Carrerio et al. (2021) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2021.11.010>.
