Examines the model's parameters for stability constraints (e.g. stationary, positive variance, etc.).
Syntax
GARCH_CHECK(mean, alphas, betas, innovation, v)
- mean
- is the 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 of the innovations/shocks (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
- The underlying model is described here.
- The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
- The number of parameters in the input argument - alpha - determines the order of the ARCH component model.
- The number of parameters in the input argument - beta - determines the order of the GARCH component model.
- To ensure positive conditional variance and finite unconditional variance, the model's cofficient must meet the following:
- $\alpha_o \gt 0$
- $\alpha_i \geq 0$
- $\beta_i \geq 0$
-
$\sum_{i=1}^{max(p,q}(\alpha_i+\beta_i) \lt 1$
