Hi all, I was trying garchFIt() of fSeries to fit volatility of monthly log returns of S&P500. I tried residuals of normal, student t, skew normal, skew t. But all innovations except normal got exaxtly same coefficients, even if I changed their parameters of skew and shape. Is this correct for the data or something wrong? I am attaching the code, thank you. Muster #GARCH analysis of

Hello all, I am trying to use the "garchFit" function in the fSeries Package to fit a Garch(1,1) Model with t distribution. I am using the following codes. fit <- garchFit(~garch(1,1),data,cond.dist="dstd") fitted(fit) I was expecting the fitted(fit) would return the fitted volatility, but the result turns out to be a series of repeated same value. I tried to change the

Dear all, I've recently switched from EViews to R with RMetrics/fSeries (newest version of july 10) for my analysis because of the much bigger flexibility it offers. So far my experiences had been great -prior I had already worked extensively with S-Plus so was already kind of familiar with the language- until I got to the fSeries package. My problem with the documentation of fSeries is that

I'm trying to use garchFit from fSeries, with Student or Skewed Student conditionnal distribution. Let's say that eps (vector) is my series of daily log-returns: data(EuStockMarkets) eps = diff(log(EuStockMarkets[,"CAC"])) library(fSeries) g = garchFit(series = eps, formula.var = ~garch(2,2), cond.dist = "dstd") s = g at fit$series All the coefficients are ok

Good morning everyone, I use for the first time the package fSeries and i try to run the example given by Diethelm Würtz. But when i run its example which is the following # # Example: # Model a GARCH time series process # # Description: # PART I: Estimate GARCH models of the following type ARCH(2) # and GARCH(1,1) with normal conditional distribution functions. # PART II: Simulate

Hi all, I post it on both r-help and r-finance since I don't know where is most appropriate for this topic. Sorry if it bothers you. I did garch fitting on S&P500 monthly returns with garchFit from fSeries. I got same coefficients from all cond.dist except normal. I thought that is probabaly usual for the data. But when I play with it, I got another question. I plot skew normal with

Hello everyone, I'm trying to estimate the parameters of the returns series attached using the GARCH code below, but I get the following error message: Error in solve.default(Hessian) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 0 Error in diag(solve(Hessian)) : error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'diag' Can

Dear all, I have problem here : I'm using garchFit from fSeries package, here is part of the script : > data <- read.table("d:/data.txt") > a <- garchFit(~garch(1,1),ts(data)) I also attached the file here. In my experience, I got my R not responding. I also tried with > a <- garchFit(~garch(1,1),ts(data*10)) and it's worked. I

Dear all, I'm using garchFit from fSeries package and I am not getting the desired results (error message : could not find function "garchFit" ). Would you please advise as to how I can build an ARIMA(p, d, q) - GARCH(p,q) model using R see the attached data and R-output. Thanking you in advance Kind regards Mangalani Peter Makananisa Statistical Analyst South

I have a problem with garchFit fuction in fSeries package. I found the following reply on one of the R list: "GARCH-Modelling is not easy, and indeed for your dataset the default "Sequential Quadratic Programming" solver doesn't converge. I observed this also for some other time series. There is already an updated version on the server,

Hello, I have a rather complex problem... I will have to explain everything in detail because I cannot solve it by myself...i just ran out of ideas. So here is what I want to do: I take quotes of two indices - S&P500 and DJ. And my first aim is to estimate coefficients of the DCC-GARCH model for them. This is how I do it: library(tseries) p1 = get.hist.quote(instrument =

Hi All, This question was brought up some time ago but I never saw a reply so I'd like to bring it up again. When using ROracle package (version 0.5-5), I am unable to run any queries that are greater than 4000 characters in length. If I do, I get the following message: Error in oraPrepareStatement(con, statement, bind=NULL) : RS-DBI driver: (too long a statement -- it must has less than

Dear R People: I'm trying to use the garchFit function from the library(fSeries) However, R freezes every time that I use it. Is anyone else having this problem, please? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am attempting to fit a ARMA/GARCH regression model without success. ### ARIMA-GARCH model with regressor ### ### Time series data: A multivariate data set. cov.ts.dq = cov.ts[1:4,"dq1"][!is.na(cov.ts[,"dq1"])] cov.ts.day = ts.intersect(dq = diff(q.ts), day = lag(q.ts, -1)) ### The following R scripts work: (summary(no.day.fitr <- garchFit(dq ~ arma(0,3) +

I used garchFit function to fit 1600 observations of EURO/USD 2-day returns in GARCH(1,1) model.

Hello, I’ve fitted a Garch(2,1) model with function 'garchFit()' from the package 'fGarch': > m1 <- garchFit(formula = ~garch(2,1),data = X,trace = F) * See 'summary(m1)' OUTPUT BELOW * PROBLEM: My alpha1 term is not significant and I would like to make a NEW model, say m2, that does not contain alpha1, but I am not sure how to specify this with the garchFit()

Dear R experts, I am trying to estimate an ARMA 2,2 model with garch errors. I used the following code on R 2.9. #library library(fGarch) #data data1<-ts(read.table("C:/Users/falcon/Desktop/Time Series/exports/goods1.csv"), start=c(1992,1), frequency=12) head(data1) #garch garchFit(formula.mean= ~arma(2,2),formula.var=~garch(1,1), data=data1) but get this error: >

Dear R users, I need to estimate an ARCH(1,0) model with t-residuals. To do this I use garchFit function from fGarch library. However, I get the following error message: Error in.garchInitParameters (formula.mean = formula.mean, formula.var = formula.var, ): object "alpha" not found I tried to estimate this model with different series, but I always get this error message.
