''Stationary parameterization of GARCH processes''
( 2022, Vol. 42 No.4 )
 
 
We propose using the multivariate logistic transform to re-parameterize the Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic model such that the necessary stationarity constraints are automatically imposed, thereby allowing for unconstrained optimization when computing quasi-maximum likelihood estimates. A few simulations and a standard R data set of daily closing prices (Germany DAX) provide illustrations of the re-parameterization. We offer some numerical comparisons to available R packages (fgarch and rugarch), and comment on the potential advantages of the new technique.
