[R] RE: GARCH (1 , 1), Hill estimator of alpha, Pareto estimator

[Spencer Graves]

	  First, I doubt if you need "library(stats)", because it is normally 
automatically attached when R starts.  To confirm, request "search()". 
When I just did this with R 2.1.0 patched, "package:stats"   was the 
third item.

	  Second, if you've already produced qq-plots and histograms, then I 
doubt if you need the "data(DAX_CAC)".  If you have not exited R since 
you successfully imported the data, and you stored it as "DAX_CAC", it 
should still be available.

	  Third, the message 'Error: couldn't find function "garch"' indicates 
that no function by that name is in the current "search()" path.  The 
command 'RSiteSearch("garch")' revealed that it was part of package 
"tseries".  To be able to access that, you need to 
'install.packages("tseries")', 'update.packages()', and then 
'library(tseries)'.

	  This should get you past the error messages I see.
