Vector Autoregression

A multivariate time series method that jointly models multiple series through their mutually influencing past values.

Vector Autoregression is used to study the dynamic relationships among multiple time series within one unified model. It is suitable for mutually influencing series such as economic indicators, production metrics, or multi-sensor streams. Beyond single-series forecasting, VAR enables analysis of system-level behavior. However, as the number of variables grows, parameter explosion and stationarity requirements become challenging.
