\begin{verbatim}
O = BVAR.uncmean(YBar,Mu)
\end{verbatim}

\paragraph{Input arguments}

\paragraph{Output arguments}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{X} {[} numeric {]} - Array with prior dummy observations that
  can be used in the \texttt{'BVAR='} option of the
  \href{VAR/estimate}{\texttt{VAR/estimate}} function.
\item
  \texttt{O} {[} bvarobj {]} - BVAR object that can be passed into the
  \href{VAR/estimate}{\texttt{VAR/estimate}} function.
