  • Added support for mixed-frequency estimation with AR(1) idiosyncratic errors (quarterly.vars combined with idio.ar1 = TRUE). This implements the full model of Banbura and Modugno (2014), allowing observation errors to follow AR(1) processes while handling mixed monthly-quarterly data with temporal aggregation constraints.

  • New internal functions init_cond_MQ_idio() and EMstepBMMQidio() implement the EM algorithm for the combined MQ + idio.ar1 case, with state vector structure [factors, monthly_errors, quarterly_error_lags].

  • Updated plot.dfm() with type = "residual" to properly handle mixed-frequency and AR(1) error models by using the residuals() method internally.

  • Added examples and documentation for the new MQ + idio.ar1 functionality in both the DFM() help page and the introductory vignette.
