Hi Johannes,

You can start with the code I sent you on R-help  
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-February/268953.html and

 * add the definition of skewness and kurtosis in the likelihood function
 * modify the conditional variance as defined in the paper
 * replace the normal probability function by the one defined in the paper.

You might get more help if you show us what you have tried.

HTH,
Yohan
