[R-SIG-Finance] Fitting a DCC-GARCH with more than one external regressor per single process using rmgarch

[leopoldo.catania]

Hi,

I'm trying to fit a dcc model using the rmgarch package, but when I put in
the variance equation more than one external regressor the dccfit fails.

Estimating one by one the single process (is an eGARCH(1,1)) there are no
problems using more than one external regressor.

I tryied also to use the "fit" parameter in the dccfit() command, but
nothing change, the error still remain the same.

Estimating the DCC insering only one external regressor in each single
process works great.

the dccfit() command reports:

Error in `rownames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("mu", "ar1", "ma", "arfima",  : 
  length of 'dimnames' [1] not equal to array extent


Best regards,

Leopoldo Catania.
