simulate arch(1) & arch(2)

Postby ecofin » Sun Mar 26, 2017 1:58 pm

Hi everyone
I have problem with this two code, i get NA series after the first observation for the 1st code, and i get error message for the second code.
i would highly appreciate if any of you could help me!
1/first code ARCH(1)

Code: Select all

' program 1 simulation ARCH(1)
wfcreate u 1000
smpl @all
'define series: normal innovation (z),variance (vr), error (e), return (r)
series z= nrnd
series vr
series e
series r
'initialize the series to start the recursion, the vr starts at the unconditional variance value of 4
smpl @first @first
vr=4
e = @sqrt(vr)*z
r= 2+e
'start the recursion from 2 to the number of observations you wish to generate we have set omega = 2 and alpha = 0.5
smpl @first+1 @last
vr=2+0.5*e^2
e = @sqrt(vr)*z
r= 2+e
smpl @all

2/ second code

Code: Select all

' program 2 simulation ARCH(2)
wfcreate u 1000
smpl @all
'define series: normal innovation (z),variance (vr), error (e), return (r)
series z= nrnd
series vr
series e
series r
'initialize the series to start the recursion, the vr starts at the unconditional variance value of 2.5
smpl @first @first+1
vr(1)=2.5
vr(2)=vr(1)
e(1) = @sqrt(vr(1))*z
e(2)=@sqrt(vr(1))*z
r(1)= 2+e(1)
r(2)= 2+e(2)
'start the recursion from 3 to the number of observations you wish to generate we have set omega = 2 and alpha1 = 0.5, alpha 2= 0.3
smpl @first+2 @last
vr=2+0.5*e^2+0.3*e^2
e = @sqrt(vr)*z
r= 2+e
smpl @all

In the first program you've only defined e for the first observation.

1/Got it! Mr startz, the first code work perfectly now, but the second code after some modification it work but i get NA from the third obs to the last.
Any help. the second code is attached below.
2/another question: if i would like to simulate ARCH(p) should be the variances in the second part of my program be equal (vr1=vr2=vr3...etc) or not?

Only the first two observations for VR are set before you use the whole series.

At the bottom of the code you set vr to depend on e. But at that point only two elements of e have been set.
