  • can estimate such models of volatility and covariances
  • can apply all these models to practical problems in finance

Qualifications

Admission Requirements

Students should have a working understanding of single time series models of the ARIMA-type, both in a theoretical manner as well as regarding its practical implementations (estimation and statistical inference) in R or EViews (or any other appropriate statistical programme)
