from arch import arch_model

start = dt.datetime(2000, 1, 1)
end = dt.datetime(2014, 1, 1)
sp500 = web.DataReader('^GSPC', 'yahoo', start=start, end=end)
returns = 100 * sp500['Adj Close'].pct_change().dropna()

```python
index = returns.index
start_loc = 0
end_loc = np.where(index >= "2010-1-1")[0].min()
forecasts = {}
for i in range(20):

```python
from arch.covariance.kernel import Bartlett
from arch.data import nasdaq
data = nasdaq.load()
