[R-SIG-Finance] [R-sig-finance] A VaR question

[RON70]

I think I should be more clear on what I would like to do. From that
estimated model I would like to get a "Real" VAR DGP, perhaps by tweaking
some of the coeficients. Which I would use to simulate artrificial data, for
some study. If somebody shows me some lihgt on how I can achive that, I
would be truly grateful.

Best,
