GM_loglik_no_skew: GARCH-MIDAS log-likelihood (no skewness)

In rumidas: Univariate GARCH-MIDAS, Double-Asymmetric GARCH-MIDAS and MEM-MIDAS

GARCH-MIDAS log-likelihood (no skewness)

Description

Obtains the log-likelihood of the GARCH-MIDAS, according to two errors' conditional distributions: Normal and Student-t. For details, see \insertCiteengle_ghysels_sohn_2013;textualrumidas and \insertCiteconrad_lock_2015;textualrumidas.

Usage

GM_loglik_no_skew(param, daily_ret, mv_m, K, distribution, lag_fun = "Beta")

Arguments

param	Vector of starting values.
daily_ret	Daily returns, which must be an "xts" object.
mv_m	MIDAS variable already transformed into a matrix, through mv_into_mat function.
K	Number of (lagged) realizations of the MIDAS variable to consider.
distribution	The conditional density to use for the innovations. At the moment, valid choices are "norm" and "std", for the Normal and Student-t distributions.
lag_fun	optional. Lag function to use. Valid choices are "Beta" (by default) and "Almon", for the Beta and Exponential Almon lag functions, respectively.

Value

The resulting vector is the log-likelihood value for each i,t.

Examples

# conditional density of the innovations: normal
start_val<-c(alpha=0.01,beta=0.8,m=0,theta=0.1,w2=2)
r_t<-sp500['2005/2010']
mv_m<-mv_into_mat(r_t,diff(indpro),K=12,"monthly")
sum(GM_loglik_no_skew(start_val,r_t,mv_m,K=12,distribution="norm"))

# conditional density of the innovations: Student-t
start_val<-c(alpha=0.01,beta=0.8,m=0,theta=0.1,w2=2,shape=5)
r_t<-sp500['2005/2010']
mv_m<-mv_into_mat(r_t,indpro,K=12,"monthly")
sum(GM_loglik_no_skew(start_val,r_t,mv_m,K=12,distribution="std"))
