MSVAR: Markov Switching VAR

MSVAR estimates a 2 state Markov Switching VAR. The likelihood function is solved via numerical optimizaton using R's 'nlminb' optimization routine. Further packages will include models with more than 2 states, switching exogenous variables and the use of simulated annealing in the optimization process to avoid finding local solutions.
