            Abstract : 
A time-varying vector autoregressive (VAR) model is used for the modeling of time series with changing spectral content. Our approach focuses on the model´s time-varying poles. We show the relationship between the deviations in these poles and deviations in the VAR coefficients, which leads to a reparameterization of the model. The performance characteristics of the model are investigated by using simulation
