GARCHM_FORESD - Volatility Forecast of GARCH-M Model

(deprecated) Calculates the estimated error/standard deviation of the conditional mean forecast.

Syntax

GARCHM_FORESD(X, Sigmas, Order, mean, lambda, alphas, betas, T, Local)
X
is the univariate time series data (a one dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)) of the last p observations.
Sigmas
is the univariate time series data (a one dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)) of the last q realized volatilities.
Order
is the time order in the data series (i.e. the first data point's corresponding date (earliest date=1 (default), latest date=0)).
Order Description
1 ascending (the first data point corresponds to the earliest date) (default)
0 descending (the first data point corresponds to the latest date)
mean
is the GARCH-M model mean (i.e. mu).
lambda
is the volatility coefficient for the mean. In finance, lambda is referenced as the risk premium.
alphas
are the parameters of the ARCH(p) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
betas
are the parameters of the GARCH(q) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
T
is the forecast time horizon (expressed in terms of steps beyond the end of the time series X). If missing, t=1 is assumed.
Local
is the type of desired volatility output (0=Term Structure, 1=Local Volatility). If missing, local volatility is assumed.

 Warning

GARCHM_FORESD() function is deprecated as of version 1.63: use GARCHM_FORE function instead.

Remarks

  1. The underlying model is described here.
  2. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
  3. The time series may include missing values (e.g. #N/A) at either end.
  4. The number of parameters in the input argument - alpha - determines the order of the ARCH component model.
  5. The number of parameters in the input argument - beta - determines the order of the GARCH component model.
