Bayesian Estimation of Bivariate Volatility Model

Description

The Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (MGARCH) models are used for modelling the volatile multivariate data sets. In this package a variant of MGARCH called BEKK (Baba, Engle, Kraft, Kroner) proposed by Engle and Kroner (1995) <http://www.jstor.org/stable/3532933> has been used to estimate the bivariate time series data using Bayesian technique.

Usage

BayesianBEKK(X,sd,iter,burnIn)

Arguments

X

a bivarite time series data

sd

sd is the standard deviation of the Normal priors assigned to each parameter. Default value is taken as 10.

iter

iter is the number of iterations for the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) chain. Default value is 100.

burnIn

burnIn is the number of iterations to be excluded from the estimate of the chain. Default value is 40.

Details

Engle and Kroner (1995) introduced the BEKK model which is the direct generalization of the univariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model. The resulting variance is dependent on the amount of currently available information.In this package we have estimated this model using Bayesian technique. Metropilis-Hasting algorithm is used to generate the posterior density of the model parametrs. Normal distribution is used as priors for each parameter of the model following Fioruci et al., (2014).

Value

It returns the Bayesian estimates of the BEKK model.

Note

This package cab be used to analyse bivariate series only
