Hello, 1) In the provided example, you have 2 stock returns and
> EWMA = matrix(nrow=T, ncol=3) See the number of columns (2+1) Please modify the number of columns according to the number of stock returns. 2) As you have 5 stock returns, the following cannot work > EWMA[1,] = c(S)[c(1,4,2)] You have to modify this part too. 3) Do the same modification within the loop.
