Chapter 6 is devoted to the interesting topic of predicting asset returns and chapter 7 is about maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The concept of heteroscedasticity is developed next with reference in ARCH and GARCH models. Chapters 9,10 and 11 discuss about risk measures and return distributions.
