ARCHProcess

ARCHProcess[κ,{α1,…,αq}]

represents an autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic process of order q, driven by a standard white noise.

ARCHProcess[κ,{α1,…,αq},init]

represents an ARCH process with initial data init.

Details

  • ARCHProcess is a discrete-time and continuous-state random process.
  • A process x[t] is an ARCH process if the conditional mean Expectation[x[t] {x[t-1], …}]=0 and the conditional variance given by Expectation [x[t]2{x[t-1, …}] satisfies the equation .
  • The initial data init can be given as a list {...,y(-2),y(-1)} or a single path TemporalData object with time stamps understood as {...,-2,-1}.
  • A scalar ARCH process can have non-negative coefficients αi and a positive coefficient κ.
  • ARCHProcess[q] represents an ARCH process of order q for use in EstimatedProcess and related functions.
  • ARCHProcess can be used with such functions as RandomFunction, CovarianceFunction, and TimeSeriesForecast.
