HAR estimation

Description

HAR estimation

Usage

HAREstimate(RM, BPV = NULL, RQ = NULL, periods = c(1,5,22),
            periodsJ = NULL, periodsRQ = NULL, type = "HAR",
            insanityFilter = TRUE, h = 1)

Arguments

`RM`	A `numeric` containing a realized measure of the integrated volatility.
`BPV`	A `numeric` containing the estimate of the continuous part of the integrated volatility used for `HARJ` and `HARQ-J` types.
`RQ`	A `numeric` containing the realized quarticity used for `HARQ` and `HARQ-J` types.
`periods`	A `numeric` denoting which lags should be used in the estimation, standard of `c(1,5,22)` is in line with Corsi(2009).
`periodsJ`	A `numeric` denoting which lags should be used in Jump estimation, if applicable.
`periodsRQ`	A `numeric` denoting which lags should be used in Realized Quarticity estimation, if applicable.
`type`	A `character` denoting which type of HAR model to estimate.
`insanityFilter`	A `logical` denoting whether the insanity filter should be used for the fitted values of the estimation see Bollerslev, Patton & Quaedvlieg(2016) footnote 17.
`h`	A `integer` denoting the whether and how much to aggregate the realized variance estimator, if h = 5 the model is for the weekly volatility and if h = 22, the model is for the monthly volatility, the default of 1 designates no aggregation.

Details

The estimates for the HARQ and HARQ-J models differ slightly from the results of BPQ (2016). This is due to a small difference in the demeaning approach for the realized quarticity. Here, the demeaning is done with mean(RQ) over all periods.

Value

A HARModel object
