RobGARCHBoot-package: Robust Bootstrap Forecast Densities for GARCH Models

Description Details Author(s) References

Description

Bootstrap forecast densities for returns and volatilities using the robust residual-based bootstrap procedure of Trucíos et at. (2017). The package also includes the robust GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic) estimator of Boudt et al. (2013) with the modification introduced by Trucíos et at. (2017).

Details

This package provides a robust bootstrap procedure to obtain forecast densities for both return and volatilities in a GARCH context. The forecast densities are useful to obtain forecast intervals as well as to estimate risk measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). We also provide the robust GARCH estimator of Boudt et al. (2013) with the modification introduced by Trucíos et at. (2017). This procedure has shown good finite sample properties in both Monte Carlo experiments and empirical data. See; Trucíos et al. (2017), Trucíos (2019) and Trucíos et al. (2020) for recent implementations.
