Bootstrap forecast densities for returns and volatilities using the robust residual-based bootstrap procedure of Truc<U+00ED>os et at. (2017). The package also includes the robust GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic) estimator of Boudt et al. (2013) with the modification introduced by Truc<U+00ED>os et at. (2017).
This package provides a robust bootstrap procedure to obtain forecast densities for both return and volatilities in a GARCH context. The forecast densities are usefull to obtain forecast intervals as well as to estimate risk measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR). Additionally, we also provide the robust GARCH estimator of Boudt et al. (2013) with the modification introduced by Truc<U+00ED>os et at. (2017). This procedures showed good finite sample properties in both Monte Carlo experiments and empirial data. For a recent implementation of this procedure see Truc<U+00ED>os (2019).
