Hi all, if I use fit = garchFit(~arma(2,0), ~garch(1,1), series = rt) does fit at fitted.values hold the fitted standard deviations? The manual only says @fitted.values a numeric vector with the fitted values. I'm not sure if this means the fitted values from the arma or the variance.. Is there also a function to estimate a AR-Garch model with t distributed innovations? I'm trying to calculate the Value at Risk using the models outlined above. I really appreciate your help, Benjamin
Garch, beginner questions

I now wrote this function, but am sure it can be done much better somehow..
library(fSeries)
library(tseries)
VaR.Garch <- function(data,stockId=1,p=0.01,dt=1)
{
r <- diff(log(data))
#fit Garch(1,1), Ar(2) modell
fit = garchFit(~arma(2,0), ~garch(1,1), series = r)
#init vars
rhat[1:3] <- 0
a[1:3] <- 0
sigma[1:3] <- 0
VaR[1:3] <- 0
for (t in 3:length(r))
{
#Calculate r suggested by AR
rhat[t] <- fit at fit$matcoef[1,1] + fit at fit$matcoef[2,1] * r[t-1] +
fit at fit$matcoef[3,1]* r[t-2]
#calculate error from fitted AR
a[t] <- r[t] - rhat[t]
#estimate sigma
sigma[t] <- sqrt(fit at fit$matcoef[4,1] + fit at fit$matcoef[5,1] *
sigma[t-1]^2 + fit at fit$matcoef[6,1] * a[t - 1]^2)
# calculate the value at risk
VaR[t] <- (1 - exp(rhat[t] * dt + sqrt(dt) * qnorm(p) * sigma[t])) * data[t]
}
list(VaR=VaR,r=rhat,std=sigma)
}
