3 Description

A GJR

GARCH (p, q)

process is represented by:

h_{t} = α_{0} + \sum_{i = 1}^{q} (α_{i} + γ I_{t - i}) ε_{t - i}^{2} + \sum_{i = 1}^{p} β_{i} h_{t - i}, t = 1, 2, \dots, T;

where

I_{t} = 1

ε_{t} < 0

I_{t} = 0

ε_{t} \geq 0

, and

ε_{t} ∣ ψ_{t - 1} = N (0, h_{t})

ε_{t} ∣ ψ_{t - 1} = S_{t} (df, h_{t})

. Here

S_{t}

is a standardized Student's

t

-distribution with

df

degrees of freedom and variance

h_{t}

T

is the number of observations in the sequence,

ε_{t}

is the observed value of the

GARCH (p, q)

process at time

t

h_{t}

is the conditional variance at time

t

, and

ψ_{t}

the set of all information up to time

t

. Symmetric GARCH sequences are generated when

γ

is zero, otherwise asymmetric GARCH sequences are generated with

γ

specifying the amount by which negative shocks are to be enhanced.

One of the initialization routines g05kff (for a repeatable sequence if computed sequentially) or g05kgf (for a non-repeatable sequence) must be called prior to the first call to g05pff.

6: $gamma$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input

On entry: the asymmetry parameter

γ

for the

GARCH (p, q)

sequence.

Constraint:

gamma + theta (i) \geq 0.0

, for

7: $df$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of degrees of freedom for the Student's

t

-distribution.

dist ='N'

, df is not referenced.

Constraint: if

dist ='T'

df > 2

8: $ht (num)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the conditional variances

h_{t}

, for

t = 1, 2, \dots, T

, for the

GARCH (p, q)

sequence.

9: $et (num)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output

On exit: the observations

ε_{t}

, for

t = 1, 2, \dots, T

, for the

GARCH (p, q)

sequence.

10: $fcall$ – Logical Input

On entry: if

fcall = .TRUE.

, a new sequence is to be generated, otherwise a given sequence is to be continued using the information in r.

11: $r (lr)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array

On entry: the array contains information required to continue a sequence if

fcall = .FALSE.

On exit: contains information that can be used in a subsequent call of g05pff, with

fcall = .FALSE.

12: $lr$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array r as declared in the (sub)program from which g05pff is called.

Constraint:

lr \geq 2 \times (ip + iq + 2)

13: $state (*)$ – Integer array Communication Array

Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array state supplied to the initialization routines g05kff or g05kgf.

On entry: contains information on the selected base generator and its current state.

On exit: contains updated information on the state of the generator.

14: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

- 1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

- 1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

- 1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

0

is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

- 1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, dist is not valid: $dist = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 2$: On entry, $num = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $num \geq 0$ .

$ifail = 3$: On entry, $ip = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $ip \geq 0$ .

$ifail = 4$: On entry, $iq = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $iq \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 5$: On entry, $theta (⟨ value ⟩) = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $γ = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $α_{i} + γ \geq 0$ .

$ifail = 7$: On entry, $df = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $df \geq 3$ .

$ifail = 11$: ip or iq is not the same as when r was set up in a previous call.
Previous value of $ip = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $ip = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Previous value of $iq = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $iq = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 12$: On entry, lr is not large enough, $lr = ⟨ value ⟩$ : minimum length required $= ⟨ value ⟩$ .

$ifail = 13$: On entry, state vector has been corrupted or not initialized.

$ifail = 51$: On entry, $theta (⟨ value ⟩) = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $theta (i) \geq 0.0$ .

$ifail = 52$: On entry, sum of $theta (i) = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: sum of $theta (i)$ , for $i = 1, 2, \dots, ip + iq$ is $< 1.0$ .

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

g05pff is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this routine. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

None.

10 Example

This example first calls g05kff to initialize a base generator then calls g05pff to generate two realizations, each consisting of ten observations, from a GJR

GARCH (1, 1)

model.
