This article discusses numerical methods used to estimate the parameters of a family of Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models, which are widely used for analyzing and predicting financial time series with variable variance. The paper provides a comparative analysis of numerical methods for estimating GARCH effects, which are based on the gradient descent method of adaptive algorithms, various variations of quadratic methods based on the Newton method, as well as alternative methods based on the simplex method, linear and quadratic interpolation. The analysis is carried out on the basis of synthetic data and on real data on quotations of the Moscow Exchange stock index using the Python 3 programming language and libraries scipy, numpy, matplotlib and others. The results of the study show that the specifics of the financial time series problem are sensitive to the choice of numerical methods for solving the optimization problem of maximizing the likelihood function. Numerical experiment has shown that using the Nelder-Meade method to evaluate GARCH effects gives the best results for solving the problem of maximizing the likelihood function.

The article is devoted to the development of a mathematical model and a software package designed to automate scientific research in the field of financial industry news analysis. The authors propose an approach based on the use of graph theory methods to identify the most significant scientific hypotheses, the methods used, as well as the obtained qualitative and quantitative results of the scientific community in this field. The proposed model and software package make it possible to automate the process of scientific research, which contributes to a more effective analysis of it. The research results can be useful both for professional participants in financial markets and for the academic community, since the identification of the most cited and fundamental works serves as the starting point of any scientific work.
