naginterfaces.library.tsa.uni_garch_exp_forecast(nt, ip, iq, theta, ht, et)

uni_garch_exp_forecast forecasts the conditional variances, $h_t,t=T+1,\dots ,T+\xi$ from an exponential $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ sequence, where $\xi$ is the forecast horizon and $T$ is the current time (see Engle and Ng (1993)).

Parameters

ntint

$\xi$, the forecast horizon.

ipint

The number of coefficients, ${\beta }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,p$.

iqint

The number of coefficients, ${\alpha }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$.

thetafloat, array-like, shape $(2\times iq+ip+1)$

The initial parameter estimates for the vector $\theta$. The first element must contain the coefficient ${\alpha }_o$ and the next $iq$ elements must contain the autoregressive coefficients ${\alpha }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$. The next $iq$ elements must contain the coefficients ${\varphi }_{\text{i}}$, for $\text{i}=1,2,\dots ,q$. The next $ip$ elements must contain the moving average coefficients ${\beta }_{\text{j}}$, for $\text{j}=1,2,\dots ,p$.

htfloat, array-like, shape $\left(\text{num}\right)$

The sequence of past conditional variances for the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process, $h_{\text{t}}$, for $\text{t}=1,2,\dots ,T$.

etfloat, array-like, shape $\left(\text{num}\right)$

The sequence of past residuals for the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process, ${ϵ}_{\text{t}}$, for $\text{t}=1,2,\dots ,T$.

Returns

fhtfloat, ndarray, shape $\left(nt\right)$

The forecast values of the conditional variance, $h_t$, for $\text{t}=T+1,\dots ,T+\xi$.

Raises

NagValueError

(errno $1$)

On entry, $max(ip-1,iq-1)=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $max(ip-1,iq-1)\le 20$.

(errno $1$)

On entry, $\text{num}=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $max(ip,iq)\le \text{num}$.

(errno $1$)

On entry, $nt=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $nt>0$.

(errno $1$)

On entry, $iq=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $iq\ge 1$.

(errno $1$)

On entry, $ip=⟨value⟩$.

Constraint: $ip\ge 0$.

Notes

No equivalent traditional C interface for this routine exists in the NAG Library.

Assume the $\text{GARCH}(p,q)$ process represented by:

$$ln\left(h_t\right)={\alpha }_0+\sum _{i=1}^q{\alpha }_i{z}_{t-i}+\sum _{j=1}^q{\varphi }_i(\left|z_{t-j}\right|-E\left[\left|z_{t-i}\right|\right])+\sum _{j=1}^p{\beta }_{i}ln\left(h_{t-j}\right)\text{,}t=1,2,\dots ,T\text{.}$$

where ${ϵ}_t|{\psi }_{t-1}=N(0,h_t)$ or ${ϵ}_t|{\psi }_{t-1}=S_t(\text{df},h_t)$, and $z_t=\frac{{ϵ}_t}{\sqrt{h_t}}$, $E\left[\left|z_{t-i}\right|\right]$ denotes the expected value of $\left|z_{t-i}\right|$, has been modelled by uni_garch_exp_estim(), and the estimated conditional variances and residuals are contained in the arrays $ht$ and $et$ respectively.

uni_garch_exp_forecast will then use the last $max(p,q)$ elements of the arrays $ht$ and $et$ to estimate the conditional variance forecasts, $h_t|{\psi }_T$, where $t=T+1,\dots ,T+\xi$ and $\xi$ is the forecast horizon.
