Dear all, I'm using *rugarch* and *rmgarch *to implement a DCC model over 30 different assets.
While using *ugarchspec *for defining input parameters of univariate GARCH using a t-Student distribution, I have noticed that there is a parameter called *fixed.pars*. Using the example given in GitHub, this parameter is set as following: fixed.pars = list(shape = 5) in case of a t-Student distribution. If I change this setting from 5 to 3 (for example) results are very different. Can someone tell me the importante and the usage of this parameter? Thanks to all Tommaso [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
