FARS: Factor-Augmented Regression Scenarios

Provides a comprehensive framework in R for modeling and forecasting economic scenarios based on multi-level dynamic factor model. The package enables users to: (i) extract global and block-specific factors using a flexible multilevel factor structure; (ii) compute asymptotically valid confidence regions for the estimated factors, accounting for uncertainty in the factor loadings; (iii) estimate factor-augmented quantile regressions; (iv) recover full predictive densities from these quantile forecasts; and (v) estimate the density when the factors are stressed.
