Preetam,

You are more likely to want garch than
arch.

These models are data-hungry, so I'm
sceptical that a model with CPI is going
to be very good.  See for instance:

www.portfolioprobe.com/2012/09/20/garch-estimation-on-impossibly-long-series/

This question is really more appropriate
for r-sig-finance (you need to subscribe
before you can post).
