[R] re garding Garch prediction mechanism

[Spencer Graves]

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

      In particular, I suggest you use a published data set from a 
package like tseries, fEcofin, or FinTS.  If you want to compare results 
with Matlab, please provide code you used in both R and Matlab, along 
with an explanation of which versions of each you used including any 
add-on packages.  For R, you can get this version information with 
'sessionInfo()'.  Please include comparable information from Matlab. 

      Without this, it is usually more difficult for someone to 
understand your question, and any answers are less likely to help you. 

      Hope this helps.
