Let me start with the code: library(quantmod) library(rugarch) getSymbols("SPY", from="1900-01-01") rets=na.trim(diff(log(Cl(SPY)))) tt = tail(rets["/2004-10-29"], 1000) spec = ugarchspec(variance.model=list(garchOrder=c(1,1)), mean.model=list(armaOrder=c(2,5)), distribution.model="sged") for(ii in 1:10) { ttFit = ugarchfit( spec=spec, data=as.vector(tt), out.sample=0, solver.control=list(trace=F) ) ttFore = ugarchforecast( ttFit, n.ahead=1, n.roll=0 ) print( as.array(ttFore)[,2,] ) }
Produces two different results: -0.001087313 and -0.001092084, each repeated a few times. What is the explanation for that? Since they are based on previous data, I was expecting single step forecasts to produce the same result. Thanks in advance!
