Simulate ARCH and GARCH series
In this exercise, you will simulate an ARCH(1) and GARCH(1,1) time series respectively using a predefined function simulate_GARCH(n, omega, alpha, beta = 0).
Recall the difference between an ARCH(1) and a GARCH(1,1) model is: besides an autoregressive component of \(\alpha\) multiplying lag-1 residual squared, a GARCH model includes a moving average component of \(\beta\) multiplying lag-1 variance.
The predefined function will simulate an ARCH/GARCH series based on n (number of simulations), omega, alpha, and beta (0 by default) you specify. It will return simulated residuals and variances. Afterwards you will plot and observe the simulated variances from the ARCH and GARCH process.

Instructions
- Simulate an ARCH(1) process with
omega= 0.1,alpha= 0.7. - Simulate a GARCH(1,1) process with
omega= 0.1,alpha= 0.7, andbeta= 0.1. - Plot the simulated ARCH variances and GARCH variances respectively.
