I tried tseries::garch() and was getting a lot of False Convergence so tried fGarch::grachFit.
Looking a bit further I find that from fGarch::garchFit I get ..@ fit :List of 17 <snip> .. ..$ convergence: int 1 .. ..$ message : chr "singular convergence (7)" for any and all fits. I have tried various real and lots of simulated data including a wide range of garch(1,1) simulations. The @fitted values are all the same; the @h.t and @sigma.t seem reasonable. Am I interpreting the @fitted incorrectly and is the convergence error perhaps bogus it would seem in at least some of my many tries should have converged.
