Fit Skewed Student-t Distribution to a vector of returns/stock prices.

Description

This function fits the Skewed Student-t Distribution to a given data vector using the skew.t_fit function from the fGarch package. It returns the estimated parameters along with the AIC and BIC values for the fitted distribution.

Usage

skew.t_fit(vec)

Arguments

vec	A numeric vector of data.

Value

A list with the following elements:

params

A numeric vector of length 4 containing the fitted Skewed Student-t parameters: degrees of freedom, skewness, scale, and location.

aic
