Volatility Clustering in a GARCHProcess 

Generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic process GARCHProcess is used to describe time series that exhibit volatility clustering phenomenonlarge changes tend to be followed by large changes of either sign, and small changes tend to be followed by small changes.

Simulate a GARCHProcess.
