YZ {InfoTrad} | R Documentation |
It estimates PIN using Yan and Zhang (2012) algorithm.
YZ(data, likelihood = c("LK", "EHO"))
## S3 method for class 'YZ_class'
print(obj)
data |
Data frame with 2 variables |
likelihood |
Character strings for likelihood algorithm. Default is "LK". |
obj |
object variable |
Argument for data must be a data frame with 2 columns that only contain numbers. Not any other type. You do not have to give names to the columns. We will assign first one as "Buy" and second as "Sell", therefore you should put order numbers with respect to this order.
Returns a list of parameter estimates (output)
alpha |
A Number |
delta |
A Number |
mu |
A Number |
eb |
A Number |
es |
A Number |
LikVal |
A Number |
PIN |
A Number |
This function does not handle NA values. Therefore the datasets should not contain any missing value
