MFE Toolbox

From Kevin Sheppard

The Oxford MFE Toolbox is the follow on to the UCSD_GARCH toolbox. It has been widely used by students here at Oxford, and represents a substantial improvement in robustness over the original UCSD GARCH code, although in its current form it only contains univariate routines.
