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

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, The function garchFit in the package fGarch allows for choosing a conditional distribution, one of which is the t-distribution. The function allows specification of the shape parameter of the distribution (equal to the degrees of freedom for the t-distribution), for which the default is set to 4. The function also includes an option "include.shape", which is "a logical flag

Dear all- Package /fGarch/ version 2100.78 in R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) running on linux 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 In trying to fit garch models in above environment. I am getting "reasonable" fitted coefficients, but the fitObject@fitted are all the same. This is true even for the help page example: library(fGarch) R> X.timeSeries = as.timeSeries(msft.dat) R> head( +

Greetings, Suppose I fit an fGarch model via garchFit function for a time series X. I'm wondering is there any easy way to apply the fitted model to a different time series Y to calculate conditional variances and standardized residuals?

Hi everybody, I have fitted an ar(1),Garch(1,1) model to some observations with the help of the garchFit function which is in the fGarch package. Here what I've done: library("fGarch") fit = garchFit(formula=~ar(1)+~garch(1,1), data=garat) Now I want to count AIC for this model. How can I do it? I cannot do it with the AIC function of stats package, because R tells me: "Error

Hi there, I'm trying to fit a GJR-GARCH Model using fGarch. I wanted to try that by fitting an APARCH model with a fixed delta of 2 and a non-fixed gamma. So I was simply trying to use: spec <- garchFit(~aparch(1,1),data=garchSim(),delta=2) coef(spec) And sometimes, it's working like a charm and delta is indeed exactly 2 in the resulting coefficient vector. Frequently, though, the

Dear R-help, I'm trying to load the fGarch package and keep running into problems with tcltk: After succesfully instaling fGarch (and dependencies) I get: >library(fGarch) Loading required package: fBasics Loading required package: fImport Loading required package: fSeries Loading required package: robustbase Loading required package: fCalendar Loading required package: MASS Loading

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Hi folks! After updating my packages my R seems to have completely crashed as will not start up - even after I installed 2.8.1 from 2.8.0. I get the following: Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .Rdata Error in loadNamespeace(name): there is no package called fGarch But I do have a package called fGarch. After I hit ok, it crashes and exits. I cannot use any functionality at all.

Hi R users, Currently I want to fit a FIGARCH model to a dataset. The only package that allow for it that I could find is fGarch. However it seems that the FIGARCH model class fitting of this package has been moved to Oxmetrics. I tried to install the old versions of it using 'tar.gz' files from CRAN archive http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fGarch/

Dear expeRts, How can I specify the order p,q of a GARCH(p,q) model within a loop? Here's a minimal example showing that an "Formula and data units do not match"-error appears: library(fGarch) spec <- garchSpec(model = list(alpha = 0.1, beta = c(0.4, 0.4))) data <- garchSim(spec, n = 100) x <- list() for(q in 1:3){ print(q) x[q] <-

Hello, I was using garchFit {fGarch} to fit some GARCH processes. I noticed that the result contains "Log Likelihood" value (right above "Description"), but when I use .. at fit$llh to retrieve Log Likelihood value, the sign switched. I am confused about which value I should choose to report... Any help here? Thanks a lot! Ted -- View this message in context:

hello everybody, I would like to fit a model to a times series (testing set) for out of sample predictions using garchFit(). I would like to keep the coefficients of ARMA/GARCH model fixed (as found by fitting the model to my training set). The arima fitting function has such an option for that (fixed=NULL) but the garchFit() doesnt. It is very important for me to keep the same coefficients

I use fGarch package to estimate AR(1)-ARCH(1) process for a vector of returns. Then, using the estimated parameters I want to simulate 10 000 sample paths where each path has the same length as the vector of returns. So the first line of the code is: spec=garchSpec(model=list(ar= 0.440270860, omega=0.000374365,alpha=0.475446583 , mu=0, beta=0))---- The only way I can think of generating 10 000

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. For example,

Hi, I've been using the Matlab robustfit function for linear regressions where I suspect some data points are outliers. Is there an equivalent function in R? Take care, Darren PS, This is the Matlab help on robustfit: >> help robustfit ROBUSTFIT Robust linear regression B = ROBUSTFIT(X,Y) returns the vector B of regression coefficients, obtained by performing robust
