Defines functions .targetPeerPerformance

## Targeted peer-performance screening for a selected subset of funds.
## This is a thin convenience wrapper over the cross-group screening
## (`*Screening(X[, funds], Y = X)`): each focal fund is screened against the
## whole universe `X` (its own column is excluded automatically). Originally
## contributed by Murilo Andre Peres Pereira.

#' @name targetPeerPerformance
#' @title Targeted peer-performance screening for selected funds
#' @description Performs peer-performance screening for a user-selected subset of
#' funds (the \dQuote{focal} funds) against the whole universe, returning
#' detailed outputs for those focal funds only. It is a convenience wrapper that
#' calls the corresponding screening function with the cross-group argument
#' \code{Y} set to the full matrix \code{X}; equivalently,
#' \code{targetPeerPerformance(X, funds, "alpha")} is
#' \code{alphaScreening(X[, funds], Y = X)}.
#' @param X Matrix \eqn{(T \times N)}{(TxN)} of \eqn{T} returns for \eqn{N}
#' funds. \code{NA} values are allowed.
#' @param funds Integer indices or character column names identifying the focal
#' funds. The output preserves the order provided in \code{funds}.
#' @param method Screening method: \code{"alpha"} (default), \code{"sharpe"}, or
#' \code{"msharpe"}.
#' @param factors Optional matrix of factor returns (only when
#' \code{method = "alpha"}).
#' @param level Modified Value-at-Risk level (only when \code{method = "msharpe"}).
#' @param na.neg Logical; return \code{NA} for a negative modified
#' Value-at-Risk (only when \code{method = "msharpe"}).
#' @param control Control parameters (see \code{\link{alphaScreening}}).
#' @return A \code{SCREENING} object (see \code{\link{alphaScreening}}) whose
#' fund-level components (\code{pizero}, \code{pipos}, \code{pineg}, the
#' performance measure, \code{npeer}, \ldots) cover the focal funds only, and
#' whose \code{pval}/\code{tstat}/difference matrices have one row per focal fund
#' and one column per universe fund. Works with the \code{print}, \code{plot},
#' \code{summary}, and \code{as.data.frame} methods.
