This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-farma package of fGarch, a set of
function for GARCH modelling for Rmetrics, a collection of packages
for financial engineering and computational finance. Both fGarch and
Rmetrics were written and compiled primarily by Diethelm Wuertz.

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site
	http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g.
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'fGarch' to
'r-cran-fgarch' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for
R.
