I am an R beginner and trying to run a market model using event study in R framework.
First, I run a market model, that is lm(stock security~SP500 index, subset=Obs[197, 396]) ->result1 Then I get predict results for a new dataset using predict (result1, newdata=Obs[397,399]) ->pred1 Pred1 should have three numbers. Now I need to calculate abnormal return by the formula stock security [397,399] -pred1 But it does not work after trying many times. So, how to write a R code to implement the formula and get right results.
