In onnokleen/mfGARCH: Mixed-Frequency GARCH Models

This function estimates a multiplicative mixed-frequency GARCH model. For the sake of numerical stability, it is best to multiply log returns by 100.

Description

This function estimates a multiplicative mixed-frequency GARCH model. For the sake of numerical stability, it is best to multiply log returns by 100.

Usage

fit_mfgarch(
  data,
  y,
  x = NULL,
  K = NULL,
  low.freq = "date",
  var.ratio.freq = NULL,
  gamma = TRUE,
  weighting = "beta.restricted",
  x.two = NULL,
  K.two = NULL,
  low.freq.two = NULL,
  weighting.two = NULL,
  multi.start = FALSE,
  control = list(par.start = NULL)
)

Arguments

data	data frame containing a column named date of type 'Date'.
y	name of high frequency dependent variable in df.
x	covariate employed in mfGARCH.
K	an integer specifying lag length K in the long-term component.
low.freq	a string of the low frequency variable in the df.
var.ratio.freq	specify a frequency column on which the variance ratio should be calculated.
gamma	if TRUE, an asymmetric GJR-GARCH is used as the short-term component. If FALSE, a simple GARCH(1,1) is employed.
weighting	specifies the weighting scheme employed in the long-term component. Options are "beta.restricted" (default) or "beta.unrestricted"
x.two	optional second covariate
K.two	lag lgenth of optional second covariate
low.freq.two	low frequency of optional second covariate
weighting.two	specifies the weighting scheme employed in the optional second long-term component. Currently, the only option is "beta.restricted"
multi.start	if TRUE, optimization is carried out with multiple starting values
control	a list

Value

A list of class mfGARCH with letters and numbers.
