statsmodels.tsa.statespace.varmax.VARMAX.loglike

VARMAX.loglike(params, *args, **kwargs)

Loglikelihood evaluation

Parameters:
  • params (array_like) – Array of parameters at which to evaluate the loglikelihood function.
  • transformed (boolean, optional) – Whether or not params is already transformed. Default is True.
  • kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the Kalman filter. See KalmanFilter.filter for more details.

Notes

[1] recommend maximizing the average likelihood to avoid scale issues; this is done automatically by the base Model fit method.
