I was running some likelihood ratio tests (using the current version of tseries) and found a different value for the log-likelihood from what I was getting using other software. I've traced the problem to R's GARCH using the conditional standard deviations instead of the conditional variances. This amounts to a factor of 2 once logs are taken, and could easily be a case of bad parentheses. It doesn't appear to affect the estimated coefficients, however. I'm not a good fortran programmer, so I'll just toss this up to the group for comment/investigation. Thanks, Elliot. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
