Hi all,

I am currently implementing the Engle & Rangel (2008) Spline GARCH model. I use the nlminb optimizer which does not provide a hessian unfortunately to get the standard errors of the coefficients. I can get around this using the 'hessian' function in numDeriv, but usually get NaN values for the omega parameter.

Can anybody recommend additional optimizers that directly return a hessian? How sensitive are the coefficients to the initial starting values?

Thanks in advance!
