Rule of thumb for the amount of event-clock time required for the market to move from its current probability q to a target probability target (conditional on the corresponding outcome): \(A^* \approx 2(\mathrm{logit}\, x^* - L)\).

Usage

ec_target_clock(q, target)

Arguments

q

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

target

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

Value

Numeric vector \(A^*\).

Examples

# from 19.5% to "90% sure": A* is about 7.2 -- roughly 40 times the
# clock time measured over the final two pre-referendum weeks (0.166)
ec_target_clock(q = 0.195, target = 0.9)
