I'm suffering some sever confusion over how to put the data into the function though. in the man page it says to use it like this: garchoutput <- garchFit(~arma(1,1)+garch(1,1), DATA). I don't know how to enter the data portion. if I put in the regular ols type function y ~ x1 + x2 .... I get the error: Error in as.data.frame.default(data) : cannot coerce class "formula" into a data.frame if I put the Y variable into a dataframe with the x variables I get this error: Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : invalid type (list) for variable 'x' here's the command used: archoutput <- garchFit(formula=~arma(1,1)+garch(2,24), xy.df) Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, Chris
