An S4 class for a nonstationary CCC model.

Description

A specification class to create an object of a simulated piecewise constant conditional correlation (CCC) model denoted by r_t = (r_{1, t}, …, r_{n, t})^T, t=1, …, n with r_{i, t}= √{h_{i, t}}ε_{i, t} where h_{i, t}= ω_i(t) + ∑_{j=1}^p α_{i, j}(t)r_{i, t-j}^2 + ∑_{k=1}^q β_{i, k}(t)h_{i, t-k}. In this package, we assume a piecewise constant CCC with p=q=1.

Slots

y

The n \times d time series.

cor_errors

The n \times d matrix of the errors.

h

The n \times d matrix of the time-varying variances.

n

Size of the time series.

d

The number of variables (assets).

r

A sparsity parameter to conrol the impact of changepoint across the series.

multp

A parameter to control the covariance of errors.

changepoints

The vector with the location of the changepoints.

pw

A logical parameter to allow for changepoints in the error covariance matrix.

a0

The vector of the parameters a0 in the individual GARCH processes denoted by ω_i(t) in the above formula.

a1

The vector of the parameters a1 in the individual GARCH processes denoted by α_i(t) in the above formula.

b1

The vector of the parameters b1 in the individual GARCH processes denoted by β_i(t) in the above formula.

BurnIn

The size of the burn-in sample. Note that this only applies at the first simulated segment. Default is 50.
