Returns the initial guess of a given model's parameters.
Syntax
GARCH_GUESS(X, Order, p, q, innovation)
- X
- is the univariate time series data (a one dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)).
- 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) - p
- is the ARCH component of the variance model order.
- q
- is the GARCH component order of the model.
- innovation
- is the probability distribution function of the innovations/residuals (1=Gaussian (default), 2=t-Distribution, 3=GED).
value Description 1 Gaussian or Normal Distribution (default) 2 Student's t-Distribution 3 Generalized Error Distribution (GED)
Remarks
- The underlying model is described here.
- The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
- The time series may include missing values (e.g. #N/A) at either end.
- GARCH_GUESS returns the model's parameters in the following order:
- $\mu$
- $\alpha_o,\phi_1,...,\phi_p$
- $\beta_1,\beta_2,...,\theta_q$
- $\nu$
