Dear All, i want to use garch model in return of stock. and the data should presence volatility cluster (Heteroscedasticity). Do you know how to test volatility cluster (the presence of heteroscedasticity) in series data of stock return in R? Is it using Langrange Multiplier (LM) ARCH test? what package i should use? I really need the help. Thanks for the attention. Eko A P

Hi, I am facing a problem in extrapolation of data series. It is a series of Bond yields, I am having the yield for 1 year to 30 years. I want to find the yield for 0.5 year and 30.5 years. I used the Langrange's Extrapolation but the extrapolation deviates from the normal trend ( as we can see in theoritical yield curves) very sharply, as go on increasing my years from 30 years to 35 years as well as from 1 year to 10 days(i.e. 10/365 years), on both the ends. I am having nearly 20,000 interpolated p...

I am hoping to do some portfolio optimization where I want to maximize my possible return subject to the constraint that my variance is below a certain value and no short positions. Is there a way I can use optim to do this ? thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I need to solve an optimization problem in R having linear objective function and quadratic constraints(number of variables is around 80). What are the possible choices to do this in R. optim() function only allows box constrained problems. Is it possible in nlm()? Or please tell me if there is any other routine. Thanks Amit
