Download data for the same period for FTSE all shares (^FTAS) as well as the
gilts index BG06.L. Using the last two as proxies for the overall market return and the riskfree
return, calculate the appropriate continuously compounded (logarithmic) returns.
1. Provide the appropriate time series regression tests for the CAPM.
2. Estimate the Single Index model for your stock and discuss the differences to the CAPM
estimates.
3. Provide a rolling analysis of the time series CAPM regression. Select appropriate window
and briefly justify your choice. Draw appropriate conclusions from your analysis. pls, could you help me with some clue on how to go about this work. thanks for your anticipated response

Please, keep in mind that I have cannot do anything without the documentation. It is a nice package and trying to know the nitty gritty ?of it. There is a forecast for GARCH model and also the report on the loss functions. What i really want to understand is if the loss function are calculated based on the volatility or the mean returns.
kind regards,
papa

But that is not what you asked in your original email!

The 'fpm' method (I assume this is what you refer to as 'report')
returns some summary
forecast performance measures on the fitted return series AND assuming
you have used
the out.sample option in the fit routine (the 'fpm' requires at least 6
out.sample points to
compute the statistics). Because forecasts can be a combination of both
rolling and unconditional
type, the extractor methods (as.array, as.data.frame etc) have a host of
options to indicate
what exactly you want to extract from the object. If you go through the
tests in the 'inst' folder
of the source package, you will see many examples of how this works.

Finally, it would not be possible to return such measures on the
volatility as that is not observed (although
you could very roughly proxy it with abs or squared returns...).
However, if you have your own realized volatility series then surely it
is quite simple to compute
those yourself.
