In hoanguc3m/ccgarch: Conditional Correlation GARCH models

Description

This function returns the gradient of the volatility part of the log-likelihood function of the DCC.

Usage

    dlv.est(par, dvar, model)

Arguments

par	a vector of the parameters in the vector GARCH equation
dvar	a matrix of the data used for estimating an (E)DCC-GARCH 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 vector of the gradient. (3N \times 1) for "diagonal" and (2N^{2}+N \times 1) for "extended".

Note

The function can be called from optim in dcc.estimation1. For obtaining the gradient for all t, use dlv instead.
