ResultParser

Parses request and results files returned from our Event Study API interface.

Description

This result file parser works currently only with csv files. Please read the vignette for further details (coming soon). We will restructure our result reports soon. So, this function may change dramatically. This object can be used for plotting your results.

Usage

ResultParser

Format

R6Class object.

Methods

new(dir): This method is used to create object of this class with dir as the directory of result files.
parseReport(path = "analysis_report.csv"): This method parses the analysis report file (analysis_report.csv).
parseAR(path = "ar_results.csv"): This method parses the abnormal return file (ar_results.csv). Furthermore, it triggers parseReport and join firm and index name.
parseCAR(path = "car_results.csv"): This method parses the cumulative abnormal return file (ar_results.csv). Furthermore, it triggers parseReport and join firm and index name.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Assume you already performed an Event Study and result files are saved in 
# the actual working directory.

# parse request file
estParser$parseRequestFile("01_RequestFile.csv")
