gogarchroll(spec, data, n.ahead = 1, forecast.length = 50, n.start = NULL, 
refit.every = 25, refit.window = c("recursive", "moving"), window.size = NULL, 
solver = "solnp", solver.control = list(), fit.control = list(), rseed = NULL,  
cluster = NULL, save.fit = FALSE, save.wdir = NULL, ...)

Arguments

spec

A GO-GARCH spec object of class goGARCHspec.

data

A multivariate data object. Can be a matrix or data.frame or timeSeries.

n.ahead

The forecast horizon (only 1-ahead supported for rolling forecasts).

forecast.length

The length of the total forecast for which out of sample data from the dataset will be excluded for testing.

n.start

Instead of forecast.length, this determines the starting point in the dataset from which to initialize the rolling forecast.

refit.every

Determines every how many periods the model is re-estimated.

refit.window

Whether the refit is done on an expanding window including all the previous data or a moving window where all previous data is used for the first estimation and then moved by a length equal to refit.every (unless the window.size option is used instead).

window.size

If not NULL, determines the size of the moving window in the rolling estimation, which also determines the first point used.

solver

The solver to use.

fit.control

Control parameters parameters passed to the fitting function.

solver.control

Control parameters passed to the solver.

rseed

Initialization seed for first ICA fit. The rest of the ICA fits are initialized with the previous mixing matrix (using A.init).

cluster

A cluster object created by calling makeCluster from the parallel package. If it is not NULL, then this will be used for parallel estimation (remember to stop the cluster on completion).

save.fit

Whether to save the fitted objects of class goGARCHfit during the estimation of each (“refit.every”). If true, the directory to save must be provided (see below). The function will not save this by default for reasons of memory management, but can save it as an “.rda” file in the user's chosen directory for further analysis.

save.wdir

If “save.fit” is true, the directory in which to save the goGARCHfit objects (1 for each “refit.every”).

...

.

Value

An object of class goGARCHroll.
