rv.kernel: Realized Variance: Kernel

In realized: Realized

Description

Realized variance calculation using a kernel estimator.

Usage

rv.kernel(x, kernel.type = "rectangular", kernel.param = 1, kernel.dofadj = TRUE, align.by="seconds",align.period = 1, cts = TRUE, makeReturns = FALSE, type = NULL, adj = NULL, q = NULL,...)

Arguments

x	Tick data in xts object.
kernel.type	Kernel name (or number)
kernel.param	Kernel parameter (usually lags)
kernel.dofadj	Kernel Degree of freedom adjustment
align.by	Align the tick data to seconds|minutes|hours
align.period	Align the tick data to this many [seconds|minutes|hours]
cts	Calendar Time Sampling is used
makeReturns	Convert to Returns
type	Deprecated, use kernel.type
adj	Deprecated, use kernel.dofadj
q	Deprecated, use kernel.param
...	...

Details

The different types of kernels can be found using rKernel.available().

Value

Kernel estimate of realized variance.
