Hi,
I'm using "garchFit" function from packages fGarch, to fit some nose.
The weird thing is that in some cases the estimate for the alpha1 coefficient is equal to 1, which can't be otherwise the model is not stable.
Even more alpha1 = 1 makes impossible to simulate the model.
My model is an ARMA(1,5)/GARCH(2,0), could be a probelm coused by overfitting? All my parameters seems to be significant...
Can anyone help me to undestand way this is happening?
Below there is the output from the function.
Thanks in advance , regards,
Filippo.

This is the output from the function:
