dccroll-methods: function: DCC-GARCH Rolling Forecast

Description

Method for creating a DCC-GARCH rolling forecast object.

Usage

dccroll(spec, data, n.ahead = 1, forecast.length = 50, refit.every = 25, 
n.start = NULL, refit.window = c("recursive", "moving"), window.size = NULL, 
solver = "solnp", solver.control = list(), 
fit.control = list(eval.se = TRUE, stationarity = TRUE, scale = FALSE), 
cluster = NULL, save.fit = FALSE, save.wdir = NULL, realizedVol = NULL, ...)

Arguments

spec
A DCCspec object with fixed parameters.
data
A multivariate xts dataset or one which can be coerced to such.
n.ahead
The number of periods to forecast.
forecast.length
The length of the total forecast for which out of sample data from the dataset will be used 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 in
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.
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 of the refits (remember to stop the cluster on completion).
save.fit
Whether to save the fitted objects of class DCCfit during the estimation of each (refit.every). If true, the directory to save must be provided. The function will not save this by
save.wdir
If save.fit is true, the directory in which to save the DCCfit objects (1 for each refit.every).
realizedVol
Required xts matrix for the realGARCH model.

Value

  • A DCCroll object containing details of the DCC-GARCH rolling forecast.
