You can also look at the Dowd package on R-forge (part of ReturnAnalytics)
and, of course, PerformanceAnalytics. rugarch has built-in functionality for
computing VaR from GARCH models as well as backtesting VaR models.

Subject: [R-SIG-Finance] Calculating VaR

Dear all,

As I am working on Value at Risk, I am looking for an appropriate package to
calculate Value at Risk using different methods beyond the historical
method. In doing so, I have found the package jvnVaR which provides several
methods to calculate VaR. Nevertheless, I am interested in calculating the
Monte Carlo VaR and the GARCH (1,1) VaR.



Does anybody know another package which provides  functions to calculate
VaR?



Kind regards
