This week, I've still been now finalized the deprecation PR, but waiting on mentor(s) and other developers to chime in regarding a very weird numpydoc error that comes up in our sphinx build. This to mine and my mentor's eyes doesn't look like it is caused by my PR changes. I have also added comparisons to statsmodels VAR model implementation with order-2 and order-1, thus validating that our implementation is just as good for VAR models.
