GARCH_LLF - GARCH Model's Log Likelihood Function

Computes the log-likelihood function for the fitted model.

Syntax

GARCH_LLF(X, Order, mean, alphas, betas, innovation, v)
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)
mean
is the GARCH model mean (i.e. mu).
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).
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)
v
is the shape factor (or degrees of freedom) of the innovations/residuals probability distribution function.

Remarks

  1. The underlying model is described here.
  2. The Log-Likelihood Function (LLF) is described here.
  3. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
  4. The time series may include missing values (e.g. #N/A) at either end.
  5. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a statistical method for fitting a model to the data and provides estimates for the model's parameters.
  6. The number of parameters in the input argument - alpha - determines the order of the ARCH component model.
  7. The number of parameters in the input argument - beta - determines the order of the GARCH component model.
