Abstract
This paper introduces ARCHModels.jl, a package for the Julia programming language that implements a number of univariate and multivariate autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity models. This model class is the workhorse tool for modeling the conditional volatility of financial assets. The distinguishing feature of these models is that they model the latent volatility as a (deterministic) function of past returns and volatilities. This recursive structure results in loop-heavy code which, due to its just-in-time compiler, Julia is well-equipped to handle. As such, the entire package is written in Julia, without any binary dependencies. We benchmark the performance of ARCHModels.jl against popular implementations in MATLAB, R, and Python, and illustrate its use in a detailed case study.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Statistical Software (JSS) publishes open-source software and corresponding reproducible articles discussing all aspects of the design, implementation, documentation, application, evaluation, comparison, maintainance and distribution of software dedicated to improvement of state-of-the-art in statistical computing in all areas of empirical research. Open-source code and articles are jointly reviewed and published in this journal and should be accessible to a broad community of practitioners, teachers, and researchers in the field of statistics.
