MATLAB: Is financial tool necessary to use econonmetrics tool

Question

Hi, last Friday October 7th I bought some add-on products: Econometrics Toolbox 3.3, Optimization T. 7.3 and Statistics and Machine Learning T. 10.1. All these, to be able to use function 'UGARCH'. The problem is, when I try to use it, MATLAB asks me to get Financial Toolbox as well. ¿Is it necessary to buy this Toolbox? Cause, when I shopped the others, I understood it wasn't necessary.

This is how I want to use it:

[Kappa, Alpha, Beta] = ugarch(r,1,1);

%where r is a predefined vector

Thanks,

Maria, ugarch is removed as of release 2016a. See the documentation for more detail.

The recommendation is to replace ugarch instances with garch. garch does not require the Financial Toolbox (only the Econometrics Toolbox).
