RobGARCHBoot-package: Robust Bootstrap Forecast Densities for GARCH Models

Description

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).

Arguments

Details

This package provides a robust bootstrap procedure to obtain forecast densities for both return and volatilities in a GARCH context. The forecast densities are useful to obtain forecast intervals as well as to estimate risk measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). 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 procedure has shown good finite sample properties in both Monte Carlo experiments and empirical data. See; Truc<U+00ED>os et al. (2017), Truc<U+00ED>os (2019) and Truc<U+00ED>os et al. (2020) for recent implementations.
