Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity

(redirected from ARCH models)

Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH)

A nonlinear stochastic process, where the variance is time-varying, and a function of the past variance. ARCH processes have frequency distributions which have high peaks at the mean and fat-tails, much like fractal distributions. The ARCH model was invented by Robert Engle. The Generalized ARCH (GARCH) model is the most widely used and was pioneered by Tim Bollerslev. See: Fractal Distributions.

Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity

A statistical measure of the average error between a best fit line and actual data that uses past data to predict future performance. General Autoaggressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity is the most common way of doing this. See also: Fractal Distribution.

The Model of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) is developed by [13] which is the development of the ARCH model. This model is built to avoid too high order in ARCH models that are based on the principle of parsimony or choose a simple model, so it will ensure the variance is always positive.
