does not make my case, because I need to test the accuracy of my code, which
basically is a simple free implementation of a garch-like maximum likelihood
estimation. It will be part of my degree thesis. With any 2 stage process I
may get similar estimations, but not exactly the same and therefore I could
not say (almost) anything about the goodness of the code. I guess there is
no free solution to my problem yet, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
