rMarginal: Maginal Contribution to Realized Estimate

Description

Plots the marginal contribution to the realized estimate.

Usage

rMarginal(x, y = NULL, period,align.by="seconds", align.period = 1,  plotit = FALSE, cts = TRUE,makeReturns = FALSE)

Arguments

x

RealizedObject or TimeSeries for S+

y

RealizedObject or TimeSeries for S+

period

Sampling period

align.by

Align the tick data to seconds|minutes|hours

align.period

Align the returns to this period first

plotit

T for plot

cts

Create calendar time sampling if a non realizedObject is passed

makeReturns

Prices are passed make them into log returns

Value

Marginal contribution vector if plotit = F

Details

Plots the marginal contribution to the realized estimate. This is a good tool to determine what obersations are adding (possibly subtracting for covariance) to the estimate.
