analytical_Hessian: Analytical Hessian of the (E)CCC-GARCH

In ccgarch: Conditional Correlation GARCH models

Description

This function computes the analytical Hessian of the log-likelihood function of the (E)CCC-GARCH model.

Usage

   analytical.Hessian(a, A, B, R, u, model)

Arguments

a	a vector of constants in the vector GARCH equation (N \times 1)
A	an ARCH parameter matrix in the vector GARCH equation (N \times N)
B	a GARCH parameter matrix in the vector GARCH equation (N \times N)
R	a constant conditional correlation matrix (N \times N)
u	a matrix of the data data used for estimating the (E)CCC-GARCH(1,1) model (T \times N)
model	a character string describing the model. "diagonal" for the diagonal model and "extended" for the extended (full ARCH and GARCH parameter matrices) model

Value

a npar \times npar Hessian matrix of the log-likelihood function of the (E)CCC-GARCH model
