ReadonlybaselineWhat the model must beat: naive — the trailing horizon realised
variance (the random-walk vol forecast); garch — the symmetric model,
for asking whether an asymmetric term earns its keep.
Optional ReadonlydistOptional ReadonlyexogenousGARCH-X: x aligned with the returns (garch and gjr); see FitOptions.exogenous. Forecasts hold it at its last value.
