[R-SIG-Finance] copula with rmgarch

2012-05-07 Thread Alex Fei
Hi I am trying to implement a typical GARCH-Copula with DCC for dynamic correlations. Is there someone could give me an example codes how it can be done? I have implemented this in Matlab, but don't know how to get a start in R. I have googled around and found rmgarch package can give it a go.

1. The returned object is of class 'cGARCHfit'. Try getting help by typing ?'cGARCHfit-class'. This will bring up all the methods available to use on the object e.g. show(cfit), coef(cfit) and rcor(cfit). 2.rcor(cfit) returns an array of the conditional correlation. 3-4 Try searching first on ht

Thank you Alexios! Now I can see how to do the first 2 Qs. Sorry, I am very new to R. Could you tell me how to run the files in the 'rmgarch.tests' folder? I typed > runtests Error: object 'runtests' not found -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/copula-with-rmgarch-

You need to source the files to run them...but this is more for debugging and testing than for learning. If you want to learn how to use the package and its functions you should run the code examples interactively line by line and understand what they do (the code is commented to help). -Alexi

Thank you Alexios for quick reply!! The files in the 'rmgarch.tests' folder gave me a lot of help. Can I do 1-step ahead forecasting using GARCH-Copula with the help of rmgarch package? for example I need to get the returns of each assets and their covariance at T+1 based on the parameters estima

1. The code in the rmgarch.tests folder is up to date. The code below that you quote is an outdated example and not from the rmgarch.tests folder but from the help page for cgarchsim (which I should update anyway when I find the time). Please only use the examples from the folder indicated (the

Thank you Alexios for always prompt and patient reply! Yes, you are right. It does not make sense to look at the simulated cov for 1-ahead. I was trying to do a portfolio allocation exercise. 1) If the mean-variance approach is adopted, basically what I need is the 1-day-ahead return of each ass

1. GHST was added recently to rugarch and I have not updated the rmgarch package to accomodate this (I guess it is due for an update soon). 2. If you only want mean-covariance, you can recover the conditional mean forecast directly by using the 'varxforecast' function (if using VAR) else from th

Thank you! I just found there is a name "stdresid" under slot "mfit", i.e. fit1@mfit$stdresid. I guess it refers to standardised residuals (it looks like in the plot), is it true? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/copula-with-rmgarch-tp4616138p4621613.html Sent fro

True. Details of the calculation are in the copula-postestimation.R. -Alexios On 09/05/2012 21:07, Alex Fei wrote: Thank you! I just found there is a name "stdresid" under slot "mfit", i.e. fit1@mfit$stdresid. I guess it refers to standardised residuals (it looks like in the plot), is it true?
