BVARResult.n_dummy#

BVARResult.n_dummy: int#

Artificial rows the prior contributed to the update.

Zero for a plain NormalInverseWishartPrior; k for a sum-of-coefficients component and one for a dummy-initial-observation component. They enter posterior_df and the posterior itself but are divided out of log_marginal_likelihood, and they are never part of nobs.
