Greetings.
I am a frequent user of arch/garch models. The manual on Time-Series (for
Stata version 8.0) has several examples, including the "code" on how to
obtain the time specific sigma squared's, from any type of GARCH model. A
good starting point is page 20, you can use the variance comand to obtain
what you want and then go from there.
