As an introductory example, we will compute the event study analysis of the announcement of the first iphone, made by Steve Jobs during MacWorld exhibition, on January 7, 2007.

import eventstudy as es
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

event = es.EventStudy.FamaFrench_3factor(
    security_ticker = 'AAPL',
    event_date = np.datetime64('2013-03-04'),
    event_window = (-2,+10), 
    estimation_size = 300,
    buffer_size = 30
)

event.plot(AR=True)
plt.show() # use standard matplotlib function to display the plot

event.results(decimals=[3,5,3,5,2,2])
