Hi, I`m about to switch from STATA to R and have serious troubles to find proper documentations on the internet. Right now I try to find a proper documentation of the eGARCH model being part of the rugarch package. Neither here http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rugarch/vignettes/Introduction_to_the_rugarch_package.pdf nor here http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rugarch/rugarch.pdf could i find some information that was helping. In this post http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/RUGARCH-eGARCH-and-variance-targeting-td4634896.html someone proposes to read the "vignette on how the unconditional variance is calculated for the eGARCH model" I don`t know what is meant by vignette. The R-built-in help function tells me about eGARCH: "assymetry term: gamma1" Thanks a lot R-help. This is relly a lot of information. I`d like to find out about the eGARCH model notation used in R, the settings and estimation techniques that are used and/or can be configured in this case, ... When searching the internet I`ve also not been very successful. When working with STATA I`ve so far never had troubles to find the right information. So i think I`m not in general too stupid to do some search on the internet. Please can anyone tell me what this "vignette" is supposed to be and where to find it? Thanks a lot, Samson -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/r-documentation-rugarch-egarch-tp4680580.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You don't seem to read very well. The rugarch vignette that you said you read clearly states that questions on that package should be directed to the R-sig-finance mailing list. This is not that list.
Before you go deliver this screed to that forum, you may want to give yourself some time to cool off because at this rate you are only going to alienate people who otherwise might help you. If you fail to adjust your approach, we the users of and contributors to R who answer each others questions on our own time (not tech support staff paid to put up with irate buyers of R, since said staff don't exist) are merely going to wait quietly for you to go back to wherever you came from.
PS: You might try typing the word "vignette" into Google.

______________________________________________ R-help at r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
First I want to apologize for posting in the wrong list. As I`ve experienced very similar issues with respect to other R packages I thought that my question was related to a general problem of mine when using the R help and R documentation (and that this rugarch issue was just an example). That`s why I thought this list here might be more appropriate. As I`m not a native english speaker it`s hard for me to get all the subtle details of Mr. Newmillers answer. But if I`m not wrong there is a relly strong derogative atmosphere. I think even if I`ve made a mistake (what I`m sorry for) this is not a nice way to help newcomers. And even If it`s hard to imagine for a native-speaker: None of my translators could give me an adequate translation of the word "vignette". Google didn`t help either. But thanks for the hint to use google, this is a very smart idea I`d never had figured out myself. Besides, the STATA forums I used to search are also supported by non-paid people. They even manage to treat each other with some respect. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/r-documentation-rugarch-egarch-tp4680580p4680605.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
