analytical.Hessian {ccgarch}R Documentation

Analytical Hessian of the (E)CCC-GARCH

Description

This function computes the analytical Hessian of the log-likelihood function of the (E)CCC-GARCH model.

Usage

   analytical.Hessian(a, A, B, R, u, model)

Arguments

a a vector of constants in the vector GARCH equation (N times 1)
A an ARCH parameter matrix in the vector GARCH equation (N times N)
B a GARCH parameter matrix in the vector GARCH equation (N times N)
R a constant conditional correlation matrix (N times N)
u a matrix of the data data used for estimating the (E)CCC-GARCH(1,1) 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 npar times npar Hessian matrix of the log-likelihood function of the (E)CCC-GARCH model
