function var_sample_moments(nlag, var_trend_order, dataset_)%datafile,varobs,xls_sheet,xls_range)
% Computes the sample moments of a VAR model.
%
% The VAR(p) model is defined by:
%
%   y_t = \sum_{k=1}^p y_{t-k} A_k + z_t C + e_t  for t = 1,...,T
%
% where y_t is a 1*m vector of observed endogenous variables, p is the
% number of lags, A_k is an m*m real matrix, z_t is a 1*q vector of
% exogenous (deterministic) variables, C is a q*m real matrix and
% e_t is a vector of exogenous stochastic shocks. T is the number
% of observations. The deterministic exogenous variables are assumed to
% be a polynomial trend of order q = "var_trend_order".
%
% We define:
%
%  <>  Y = (y_1',y_2',...,y_T')' a T*m matrix,
%
%  <>  x_t = (y_{t-1},y_{t-2},...,y_{t-p},z_t) a 1*(mp+q) row vector,
%
%  <>  X = (x_1',x_2',...,x_T')' a T*(mp+q) matrix,
%
%  <>  E = (e_1',e_2',...,e_T')' a T*m matrix and
%
%  <>  A = (A_1',A_2',...,A_p',C')' an (mp+q)*m matrix of coefficients.
%
% So that we can equivalently write the VAR(p) model using the following
% matrix representation:
%
%   Y = X * A +E
%
%
% INPUTS
%   o nlag                [integer] Number of lags in the VAR model.
%   o var_trend_order     [integer] Order of the polynomial exogenous trend:
%                                       = -1 no constant and no linear trend,
%                                       =  0 constant and no linear trend,
%                                       =  1 constant and linear trend.
%   o dataset_            [dseries] The sample.
%
% OUTPUTS
%   o YtY                 [double]  Y'*Y an m*m matrix.
%   o XtY                 [double]  X'*Y an (mp+q)*m matrix.
%   o YtX                 [double]  Y'*X an m*(mp+q) matrix.
%   o XtX                 [double]  X'*X an (mp+q)*(mp+q) matrix.
%   o Y                   [double]  Y a T*m matrix.
%   o X                   [double]  X a T*(mp+q) matrix.

% SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
