#' CDNOW repeat transaction data summary
#'
#' Data representing the purchasing behavior of 2,357 CDNOW customers between
#' January 1997 and June 1998, summarized as a customer-by-time matrix and a
#' vector of cumulative weekly transactions.
#'
#' The customers in this data represent 1/10th of the cohort of customers who
#' made their first transactions with CDNOW in the first quarter of 1997. CDNOW
#' was an online retailer, selling music and related products on the web since
#' 1994.

#' @format A named list of four elements: 
#' * `cbs`  A customer-by-time matrix with four columns: frequency ("x"), recency
#'   ("t.x"), length of observation in the calibration period ("T.cal"), and
#'   number of transactions in the holdout period ("x.star"). Each row represents
#'   a customer. 
#' * `cu.tracking`  A vector containing cumulative transactions for
#'   every week in both the calibration and estimating periods (78 weeks total).
#'   This vector contains the sum of transactions across all customers. 
#' * `est.params`   A vector containing estimated values for the four Pareto/NBD
#'   parameters: r, alpha, s, and beta, in that order. This estimation was made
#'   using [`pnbd.EstimateParameters`], and is included here to avoid having to
#'   run the relatively time-consuming parameter estimation function in examples.
#' * `m.x`  A vector containing the average value of each customer's repeat
#'   transactions. Used in examples for spend functions.
#'
#' @source The data was put together using data conversion functions included in
#'   this package. The original event log is included (see [`cdnowElog`]).

#' CDNOW event log data
#'
#' Data representing the purchasing behavior of 2,357 CDNOW customers between
#' January 1997 and June 1998, in event log format.
#'
#' The customers in this data represent 1/10th of the cohort of customers who
#' made their first transactions with CDNOW in the first quarter of 1997. CDNOW
#' was an online retailer, selling music and related products on the web since
#' 1994.

#' @format A comma-delimited file representing an event log with 6,919 entries.
#'   It has 5 columns: The customer's ID in the master dataset, the customer's
#'   ID in this dataset (which represents 1/10th of the master dataset), the
#'   date of the transaction in the format "%Y%m%d" (e.g. 19970225), the number
#'   of CDs purchased, and the dollar value of the transaction.

#' Discrete simulated annual event log data
#'
#' Data simulated using BG/BB model assumptions. Contains annual transaction
#' behavior for a period of 14 years, for a cohort of 10,000 customers who made
#' their first transactions in 1970.
#'
#' This dataset was simulated in order to illustrate certain data-conversion
#' functions (see [`dc.MakeRFmatrixCal`]).

#'
#' @format A comma-delimited file representing an event log with 52,432 entries.
#'   It has 2 columns: The customer's ID and the date of the transaction in
#'   standard R date format.

#' Discrete donation data summary
#'
#' This dataset contains a recency-frequency matrix capturing the discrete
#' transaction behavior of 11,104 customers over 6 transaction opportunities,
#' summarized as a recency-frequency matrix and a vector of annual transactions.
#'
#' Data from "a major nonprofit organization located in the midwestern United
#' States that is funded in large part by donations from individuals. In 1995
#' the organization "acquired" 11,104 first-time supporters; in each of the
#' following six years, these individuals either did or did not support the
#' organization."
#'
#' This dataset contains, for each possible in-sample recency/frequency
#' combination in the 1995 cohort, the number of customers and the number of
#' transactions they made during the validation period.
