RV: please ...i need help...

Just now, RSiteSearch("GARCH") produced for me 258 hits.  The first 
was a function 'garch' in the 'tseries' package.  At least 9 of the 
first 10 might be useful for you.  Similarly, 'help.search("GARCH")' 
identified capabilities already installed in local copy of R in packages 
  base, cluster, fCalendar, fOptions, fSeries, lattice, MASS, methods, 
stats, tcktk, tseries, and utils.  Some of these may not help you, but 
if you haven't already, I believe you will want to study fCalendar, 
fOptions, and fSeries and Rmetrics (www.rmetrics.org) of which these are 
part.  Rmetrics looks like an open source alternative to Finmetrics. 
I'm told that Finmetrics contains things that Rmetrics does not. 
However, Rmetrics looks like it will get much of what you want. 
Similarly, RSiteSearch("value at risk") produced for me 195 hits, the 
first of which looked like it would interest you.

	  This should help you take the next few steps in your project.  If you 
later would like more help from this listserve, I encourage you to 
PLEASE do read the posting guide! 
"www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  I believe it can (a) help you 
find answers that might not come to you without it, and (b) increase 
your chances of receiving a quicker, more useful reply.

	  Buena suerte,
