EGARCH_ERRORS - Estimated Errors of the Parameters Values

Returns an array of cells for the estimated error/standard deviation of the model's parameters.

Syntax

EGARCH_ERRORS ([x], order, µ, [α], [γ], [β], f, ν)

[X]

Required. Is the univariate time series data (a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g., rows or columns)).

Order

Optional. Is the time order in the data series (i.e., the first data point's corresponding date (earliest date = 1 (default), latest date = 0)).

Value	Order
1	Ascending (the first data point corresponds to the earliest date) (default).
0	Descending (the first data point corresponds to the latest date).

µ

Optional. Is the GARCH model long-run mean (i.e., mu). If missing, the process mean is assumed to be zero.

[α]

Required. Are the parameters of the ARCH(p) component model: [αo α1, α2 … αp] (starting with the lowest lag).

[γ]

Optional. Are the leverage parameters: [γ1, γ2 … γp] (starting with the lowest lag).

[β]

Optional. Are the parameters of the GARCH(q) component model: [β1, β2 … βq] (starting with the lowest lag).

F

Optional. Is the probability distribution function of the innovations/residuals (1 = Gaussian (default), 2 = t-Distribution, 3 = GED).

Value	Probability Distribution
1	Gaussian or Normal Distribution (default).
2	Student's t-Distribution.
3	Generalized Error Distribution (GED).

ν

Optional. Is the shape parameter (or degrees of freedom) of the innovations/residuals’ probability distribution function.

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.
