D. 36

Explanation:

In a standard form, unrestricted, tri-variate VAR(4) model, there are 3 equations (one for each variable) and each equation has 4 lags of each of the 3 variables, plus an error term.

So, for each equation, there are 4 x 3 = 12 parameters to be estimated (ignoring the intercepts).

Since there are 3 equations, the total number of parameters to be estimated is 12 x 3 = 36.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 36.

The question asks for the total number of parameters in an unrestricted tri-variate VAR(4) model, excluding intercepts. In a VAR(p) model with \( k \) variables, each equation includes \( p \) lags of all \( k \) variables. For this case:
- **Tri-variate** (\( k = 3 \)): 3 variables.
- **VAR(4)** (\( p = 4 \)): 4 lags.

Each equation requires \( k \times p = 3 \times 4 = 12 \) parameters. Since there are \( k = 3 \) equations (one for each variable), the total parameters are \( 12 \times 3 = 36 \).

A standard form, unrestricted, tri-variate VAR(4) will have 3 equations. Each equation will have 4 lags of each of the 3 variables, so each equation will have 12 parameters to be estimated. Therefore, the total number of parameters to be estimated will be 3 x 12 = 36. The correct answer is D.

In a tri-variate VAR(4), each equation has 3 variables (excluding the intercept), and for each variable there are 4 lags. So for each equation there are 3*4 = 12 parameters. Since there are 3 equations in a tri-variate model, the total number of parameters to be estimated is 12*3 = 36.

minimax A standard form, unrestricted, tri-variate VAR(4) model has three variables, and each variable is regressed on its own lags and the lags of the other two variables. For each equation, we have to estimate the coefficients for the lags of all three variables.

Since it's a VAR(4), we are considering 4 lags for each variable. For each equation, we will have:

- 3 variables * 4 lags = 12 coefficients for the other variables' lags
- Plus, there are 3 coefficients for the current values of the other two variables (since we have three variables in total).

So for each equation, we have 12 + 3 = 15 coefficients to estimate.

Since there are three equations (one for each variable), the total number of parameters to be estimated is:

15 coefficients/equation * 3 equations = 45 coefficients.

However, the question asks to ignore the intercepts, so we subtract the 3 intercepts that would normally be included in each equation:

45 coefficients - 3 intercepts = 42 coefficients.

None of the options A, B, C, or D match the correct answer of 42. There might be a mistake in the question or the options provided. If we strictly follow the question's wording and ignore the intercepts, the correct answer would be 42, which is not listed.

kimi A VAR(4) model is a Vector Autoregression model with four lags. In a tri-variate VAR(4) model, there are three variables. For each variable, there are four lags, and each lag is associated with the current and past values of all three variables.

The number of parameters to be estimated for each equation is the number of lags times the number of variables, which is \(4 \times 3\) for each equation. Since there are three variables, there are three equations in the system.

So the total number of parameters is:
\[3 \text{ equations} \times (4 \text{ lags} \times 3 \text{ variables}) = 3 \times 12 = 36\]

Explanation:
In a standard form, unrestricted, tri-variate VAR(4) model, we have three variables and we are considering the 4th order of lags. The general form of a VAR(p) model is:

Yt=c+Φ1Yt−1+Φ2Yt−2+…+ΦpYt−p+εtYt = c + Φ_1Y_{t-1} + Φ_2Y_{t-2} + … + Φ_pY_{t-p} + ε_tYt=c+Φ1Yt−1+Φ2Yt−2+…+ΦpYt−p+εt

Where YtY_tYt is a vector of endogenous variables, ccc is a vector of constants (intercepts), Φi\Phi_iΦi are matrices of coefficients and εtε_tεt is a vector of white noise error terms.

Ignoring the intercepts, the number of parameters to be estimated in each equation of the VAR(4) model will be the number of variables (3 in this case) multiplied by the number of lags (4). So, for each equation, we have 3×4=123 \times 4 = 123×4=12 parameters.

Since we have a tri-variate model, there will be three equations, each with 12 parameters. Therefore, the total number of parameters to be estimated will be 3×12=363 \times 12 = 363×12=36.

Explanation: A VAR(4) model with three variables (tri-variate) involves each variable being regressed on its own lags and the lags of the other two variables up to 4 periods back. For each equation, there are:

- 4 lags of the variable itself
- 4 lags of the first other variable
- 4 lags of the second other variable

This makes a total of \(4 + 4 + 4 = 12\) parameters per equation. Since there are 3 equations (one for each variable), the total number of parameters to be estimated is \(12 \times 3 = 36\). The intercepts are ignored as per the question's instruction. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 36.
