Folded-normal approximation of the expected absolute revision of the event probability until resolution: \(E|q_T - q| \approx q(1-q)\sqrt{2A/\pi}\).

Usage

ec_revision(q, A)

Arguments

q

Numeric vector of current event probabilities in \((0,1)\).

A

Numeric vector of event-clock time (non-negative).

Value

Numeric vector.

Examples

# Brexit two weeks out: about 5 probability points
ec_revision(0.195, 0.166)
#> [1] 0.05102989
