The python arch module for financial econometrics.

This python module arch : is a work-in-progress for ARCH and other tools for financial econometrics, written in Python (and Cython) .

The arch python module come with tools for:

Univariate volatility models Bootstrapping Multiple comparison procedures Unit root tests

You can read and see many examples here.

Let's start with instalation into my python 2.7.12 version.

First you need to install this python module with pip tool:

This python module is very mathematical and technical so I'll refer you to a few examples.

Can be used in statistical research and econometrics, or the application of mathematics, statistics, and computer science to economic data.
