class arch.univariate.RiskMetrics2006(tau0=1560, tau1=4, kmax=14, rho=1.4142135623730951)[source]

RiskMetrics 2006 Variance process

Parameters

  • tau0 ({int, float}, optional) -- Length of long cycle. Default is 1560.

  • tau1 ({int, float}, optional) -- Length of short cycle. Default is 4.

  • kmax (int, optional) -- Number of components. Default is 14.

  • rho (float, optional) -- Relative scale of adjacent cycles. Default is sqrt(2)

num_params

The number of parameters in the model

Type

int

Examples

Daily RiskMetrics 2006 process

>>> from arch.univariate import RiskMetrics2006
>>> rm = RiskMetrics2006()

Notes

The variance dynamics of the model are given as a weighted average of kmax EWMA variance processes where the smoothing parameters and weights are determined by tau0, tau1 and rho.

This model has no parameters since the smoothing parameter is fixed.

Methods
