mgarch

mgarch is a python package for predicting volatility of daily returns in financial markets.

DCC-GARCH(1,1) for multivariate normal and student t distribution.

Use case:

For Multivariate Normal Distribution

# shape(rt) = (t, n) numpy matrix with t days of observation and n number of assets
import mgarch
vol = mgarch.mgarch()
vol.fit(rt)
ndays = 10 # volatility of nth day
cov_nextday = vol.predict(ndays)

For Multivariate Student-t Distribution

# shape(rt) = (t, n) numpy matrix with t days of observation and n number of assets
import mgarch
dist = 't'
vol = mgarch.mgarch(dist)
vol.fit(rt)
ndays = 10 # volatility of nth day
cov_nextday = vol.predict(ndays)
