+\section{Skeletal event study model} \label{s:model}
+In this section, we present a model to evaluate the impact of stock
+splits on returns.
-% In this package, there are three major functions
-% \textit{phys2eventtime}, \textit{remap.cumsum} and
-% \textit{inference.Ecar}. \textit{phys2eventtime} changes the
-% physical dates to event time frame on which event study analysis can
-% be done with ease. \textit{remap.cumsum}
-% can be used to convert returns to cumulative sum or product in the
-% event time frame. \textit{inference.Ecar} generates bootstrap
-% inference for the event time response of the variable.

\section{Software approach} \label{s:approach}
The package offers the following functionalities:
-
- Models for calculating returns. These include:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item Excess returns model
- \item Market residual model
- \item Augmented market model (AMM)
- \end{itemize}
-
-\begin{itemize}
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item Models for calculating returns. These include:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{excessReturn}: estimation of excess return i.e. $R_j -
+ R_m$ where $R_j$ is the return of firm $j$ and $R_m$ is the market
+ return.
+ \item \texttt{marketResidual}: estimation of market residual after
+ extracting market returns from firm returns.
+ \item \texttt{AMM}: estimation of market residual after extracting
+ market returns and currency returns from firm returns.
+ \end{itemize}
\item Coverting the data-set to an event frame. This requires:
\begin{itemize}
\item A time series object of stock price returns
\item Event dates object with two columns, \textit{unit} and
\textit{when}, the date of occurrence of the event.
\end{itemize}
-
\item Procedures for inference. These include:
\begin{itemize}
\item Bootstrapping
\item Wilcoxon signed rank test
\end{itemize}
-\end{itemize}
+\end{enumerate}
+The first argument of the first two models is the \texttt{data.oject}
+which is a time-series of stock returns. The second argument is
+\texttt{market.name}, a column name indicating market returns.
+
+The output from these two models is another time-series object which
+is used for converting to event time.
