GARCH with alpha-stable residuals
I am trying to estimate parameters of ARMA(1,1)-GARCH(1,1) model when residuals have alpha-stable distribution. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

I would have thought that a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) would work.

Instead of using the Gaussian likelihood, you will need to use the alpha stable likelihood. I guess the easiest way to calculate the alpha stable likelihood is through Fourier inversion of the characteristic function.
