# To calculate the Hedge Efficiency and Optimal Hedge Ratio with BEKK in R

I estimated an MGARCH-BEKK model (using the R package BEKK). (BEKK= Baba, Engle, Kraft and Kroner; see Engle and Kroner (1995)) on time series of spot and futures prices. The estimated parameters are:

    Variable     Estimate
1   mu1.Log_JC   2.99457396
2   mu2.Log_B3   3.08103107

Now, how to calculate the Optimal Hedge Ratio and the Hedge Efficiency with BEKK in R?

This question came from our site for people interested in statistics, machine learning, data analysis, data mining, and data visualization.

• Could you please restate your Question in english/Por favor reformular en ingles! – kjetil b halvorsen Aug 11 at 20:46
• @kjetilbhalvorsen - It is Portuguese rather than Spanish. The introductory line is translated by Google Translate as "I have the result of the coefficients of the BEKK model:" and the final line as "How to create the optimal ratio and effectiveness of these coefficients?" – Henry Aug 11 at 21:11
• Sorry. I need to calculate the Hedge Efficiency and Optimal Hedge Ratio for the future Market. – Everton Toledo Aug 11 at 22:03
• @Everton Toledo: Can you please edit that into the original question? – kjetil b halvorsen Aug 11 at 22:11
• If your only question is 'How do I _____ in R?', then it's most likely off topic here. You may have a statistical question, but you need to clarify what it is, if so. Alternatively, this may be a quantitative finance question, in which case we could possibly migrate it to the Quantitative Finance SE site, but it presumably needs to be clarified & sufficient context provided for that site as well. – gung Aug 11 at 23:35
