multivar: Penalized Estimation of Multiple-Subject Vector Autoregressive Models

Simulate, estimate, and forecast vector autoregressive (VAR) models for multiple-subject data using structured penalization. Decomposes dynamics into shared (common) and subject-specific (unique) components via adaptive LASSO with FISTA optimization. Supports cross-validation and extended BIC model selection and subgroup detection, and time-varying parameters.
