Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Conditional Variance Models
Innovation Distribution
For conditional variance models, the innovation process is
whereztfollows a standardized Gaussian or Student’stdistribution with
degrees of freedom. Specify your distribution choice in the model propertyDistribution
.
The innovation variance, can follow a GARCH, EGARCH, or GJR conditional variance process.
If the model includes a mean offset term, then

models estimates parameters using maximum likelihood estimation.estimate
returns fitted values for any parameters in the input model equal toNaN
.estimate
honors any equality constraints in the input model, and does not return estimates for parameters with equality constraints.
Loglikelihood Functions
Given the history of a process, innovations are conditionally independent. LetHtdenote the history of a process available at timet,t= 1,...,N. The likelihood function for the innovation series is given by
wherefis a standardized Gaussian ortdensity function.
The exact form of the loglikelihood objective function depends on the parametric form of the innovation distribution.
