NDK_GARCH_VALIDATE

int __stdcall NDK_GARCH_VALIDATE ( double  mu,
const double *  Alphas,
size_t  p,
const double *  Betas,
size_t  q,
WORD  nInnovationType,
double  nu 
)

Examines the model's parameters for stability constraints (e.g. variance stationary, positive variance, etc.).

Returns
status code of the operation
Return values
NDK_SUCCESS  Operation successful
NDK_FAILED  Operation unsuccessful. See Macros for full list.
Parameters
[in] mu is the GARCH model conditional mean (i.e. mu).
[in] Alphas are the parameters of the ARCH(p) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
[in] p is the number of elements in Alphas array
[in] Betas are the parameters of the GARCH(q) component model (starting with the lowest lag).
[in] q is the number of elements in Betas array
[in] nInnovationType is the probability distribution function of the innovations/residuals (see INNOVATION_TYPE)
  • INNOVATION_GAUSSIAN Gaussian Distribution (default)
  • INNOVATION_TDIST Student's T-Distribution,
  • INNOVATION_GED Generalized Error Distribution (GED)
[in] nu is the shape factor (or degrees of freedom) of the innovations/residuals probability distribution function.
Remarks
  1. The underlying model is described here.
  2. The time series is homogeneous or equally spaced.
  3. The number of parameters in the input argument - alpha - determines the order of the ARCH component model.
  4. The number of parameters in the input argument - beta - determines the order of the GARCH component model.
  5. GARCH_CHECK examines the model's coefficients for:
    • \(\alpha_o>0\,, \alpha_{i>0}\geq 0 \,, \beta_j \geq 0\)
    • \(\sum_{i=1}^{max(p,q)}(\alpha_i+\beta_i)
