rAVGCov: Realized Covariance: Average Subsample

Description

Realized Covariance using average subsample.

Usage

rAVGCov(rdata, cor = FALSE, period = 1, align.by = "seconds", 
        align.period = 1, cts = TRUE, makeReturns = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

rdata

In the multivariate case: a list. Each list-item i contains an xts object with the intraday data of stock i for day t. In the univariate case: an xts object containing the (tick) data for one day.

cor

boolean, in case it is TRUE, the correlation is returned. FALSE by default.

period

Sampling period

align.by

Align the tick data to seconds|minutes|hours

align.period

Align the tick data to this many [seconds|minutes|hours]

cts

Create calendar time sampling if a non realizedObject is passed

makeReturns

Prices are passed make them into log returns

...

...

Value

Realized covariance using average subsample.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
 # Average subsampled realized variance/covariance for CTS aligned at one minute returns at 
 # 5 subgrids (5 minutes).
 data(sample_tdata); 
 data(lltc.xts);
 data(sbux.xts);
 
 # Univariate
 rvSub = rAVGCov( rdata = sample_tdata$PRICE, period = 5, align.by ="minutes", 
                   align.period=5, makeReturns=TRUE); 
 rvSub
 
 # Multivariate:
