[R] GARCH in package tseries

[Elliot Williams]

I was running some likelihood ratio tests (using the current version of
tseries) and found a different value for the log-likelihood from what I
was getting using other software.  I've traced the problem to R's GARCH
using the conditional standard deviations instead of the conditional
variances.  This amounts to a factor of 2 once logs are taken, and could
easily be a case of bad parentheses.  

It doesn't appear to affect the estimated coefficients, however. 

I'm not a good fortran programmer, so I'll just toss this up to the group 
for comment/investigation.  


						Thanks,
						Elliot.
