Time Varying Higher Moments - racd?
Thanks Alexios. "jsu" returns a solution quickly. The sigma and quantile plots appear to be pretty much identical to what was in your paper. The skewness and kertosis plots do look somewhat different but I expect that's probably cause by using this different model. Anyway, the code as supplied in the paper works fine now. The last issue is not overly important but twinkle didn't install due to (I think) some missing color definitions in Latex. I'll need to see if I can find some info on fixing that but the hard stuff appears to be working.

Hi Mark, You are probably using the nig or ghyp distributions which do not have a closed form quantile function so it is evaluating it for every point (which is expensive!). Try the jsu distribution instead...it is very flexible and fast to evaluate. Best, Alexios

(Mostly - The first 3 plots are created. I've been waiting for about 20 minutes for the quantile plot to finish but no results on that one yet. Anyway, it works well enough for me to go a bit deeper now. Cheers, Mark

There is the option I believe to pass some extra arguments to "install" via '...'. Specifically the "dependencies" (logical) and "build_vignettes" arguments. 2. You need to have the "appendix" package in your latex installation (see the documentation of your linux flavor on how to do this). 3. fftw on CRAN builds ok for everything but OSX Mavericks...I may remove it going forward and use the base implementation to avoid too many problematic dependencies, but would welcome any feedback on speed comparisons. Best, Alexios

Thanks Alexios. I started reading that based on Pierre's response but I'm hung up: 1) I needed the fftw package to install but it wouldn't as it was not finding fftw3. I then found fftw-3.3.3-r2 in Gentoo portage and think I got past that problem. 2) I'm now just trying to install all the packages shown on yor r-downloads page but rmgarch won't install apparently due to (I think) Latex issues. I got as far as failing due to something called texi2dvi which I found and installed from portage again, but now I have this problem due to a missing appendix.sty file I think. Thanks for any pointers into what I'm doing wrong here.
