Software Options for Multivariate Markov-Switching GARCH

Article Quant Q&A · Author: pulsar
Read the original

Summary

The document is a software-focused question about implementing a multivariate Markov regime-switching GARCH model for a dependent variable with several regressors. The author reports difficulty finding an implementation in common statistical environments and notes that an R package they found handles univariate series rather than the multivariate case.

Two brief replies point to possible resources: an example associated with the statsmodels package and MATLAB code described as supporting multivariate MS-GARCH. The document provides no details on model specification, package functions, installation, maintenance, or validation, and it includes no comparison of the suggested implementations. These references are leads for further investigation rather than evidence that either option fits a particular regression setup or satisfies a researcher’s requirements.

Key ideas

  • The question concerns software for multivariate Markov regime-switching GARCH models.
  • The author found an R package for univariate series but did not find a suitable multivariate implementation.
  • A reply suggests examining an example associated with statsmodels.
  • Another reply points to MATLAB code for multivariate MS-GARCH.
  • The document gives no implementation details or validation results for the suggested resources.

I have a regression with 4 independent variables and a dependent variable. I want to implement a Regime switching GARCH model but have been unable to find a package in R,Python or Matlab. MSGARCH package available in R is for uni-variate series series, apart from this I haven't come across any available packages. Is there any such package available?

It seems to be included in statsmodels package, take a look at this example?

There is a MATLAB code developed recently to handle the multivariate MS GARCH model, check this link
