Fitting distributions to financial data using volatility model to estimate VaR

The R code could look like (data): volatility<-0 quantile<-0 for(i in 11:length(dat)){ volatility[i]<-sd(dat[(i-10):(i-1)]) } for(i in 1:length(dat)){ quantile[i]<-qnorm(0.975,mean=0,sd=volatility[i] … No matter what volatility model they use, I cannot understand the connection of distribution and volatility model. …
