In InfoTrad: Calculates the Probability of Informed Trading (PIN)

Description

It estimates PIN using Ersan and Alici (2016) modified clustering algorithm.

Usage

EA(data, likelihood = c("LK", "EHO"))
## S3 method for class 'EA_class'
print(obj)

Arguments

data	Data frame with 2 variables
likelihood	Character strings for likelihood algorithm. Default is "LK".
obj	object variable

Details

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.

Value

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

Warning

This function does not handle NA values. Therefore the datasets should not contain any missing value. This function do not conduct the iterative estimation procedure proposed in the same paper.
