Thus, the fitted GARCH(1, 1) model with Student-t distributionis adequate.Estimation <strong>of</strong> Degrees <strong>of</strong> FreedomIf we further extend the GARCH(1, 1) model by estimating the degrees <strong>of</strong> freedom<strong>of</strong> the Student-t distribution used, we obtain the modelr t = 0.0083 + a t , σ 2t = 0.00017 + 0.1227a 2 t−1 + 0.8193σ 2t−1 , (3.20)Table 3.1.
