S4 class for the vine settings

Specify which vine copula models are fitted and how often they are refit as well as how big the training data set is. Remember that the estimation process is done in a rolling window fashion and the arguments (train and refit size) will have to match with the arguments of the also to be specified marginal_settings.

Usage

vine_settings(train_size, refit_size, family_set = "all", vine_type = "rvine")

# S4 method for vine_settings

Functions

• vine_settings(): Class constructor taking the arguments specified in the slots below

Slots

train_size

Positive count specifying the training data size.

refit_size

Positive count specifying for how many periods a vine is used

family_set

Character vector specifying the family of copulas that are used. For possible choices see rvinecopulib::bicop. Note for conditional sampling just parametric copula families are possible so do not use the family arguments all and tll.

vine_type

character value that specifies which vine class should be fitted. Possible choices right now are rvine (regular vine) and dvine (drawable vine).
