The advantages of the analytic research
capability offered in the Charter Oak environment are:
Unequalled time and data alignment
capability allows the user to define and refine data
reporting lags to appropriately populate and
position the desired vectors of research datasets.
Unequalled vendor data code storage
and presentation allow the serious quantitative
researcher to find, condition and mine data code
presentations resulting from significant corporate
actions which are typically lost by other data
distributors through “N/A” presentation.
Conversely, other data distributors’ inability to
hold and manipulate vendor data codes introduces a
systematic bias against access to data for companies
who have engaged in mergers and acquisitions since
M&A activity gives rise to much of the annual
and semi-annual data code presentations.
Built-in and user-definable data
constructs and return sequences allow unprecedented
analytic control.
Built-in, first-level statistical and
investment analytics with equally powerful time
series and cross-sectional functions allow for user
defined, first-order data pre-processing and
analysis.
Seamless connectivity between the
Charter Oak engine/data warehouse and major statistical
packages (such as SAS, S-Plus, Matlab) is
available to facilitate major research tasks.
