摘要: Abstract In this paper, we give a characterization of the range spectral matrices, which are feasible for bivariate VAR(p) models. addition to marginal spectra and cross-spectrum being ratios trigonometric polynomials, as is also case VARMA(p,q) models, in polynomials involved numerators denominators must fulfil further restrictions. We state these restrictions show that they sufficient matrix belong VAR. demonstrate how may be regained only from coherency. This, turn, used construct visual goodness-of-fit criterion fitting VAR model, yielding indications on necessary order. The phase lags between frequency- λ -components two series discussed detail. Finally, propose methods constructing models with (partially) pre-specified elements. Examples provided illustrating criterion, phase-lag structure above methods.
