#' Adjusted Sharpe ratio of the return distribution
#'
#' Adjusted Sharpe ratio was introduced by Pezier and White (2006) to adjusts
#' for skewness and kurtosis by incorporating a penalty factor for negative skewness
#' and excess kurtosis.
#'
#' \deqn{Adjusted Sharpe Ratio = SR * [1 + (\frac{S}{6}) * SR - (\frac{K - 3}{24}) * SR^2]}{Adjusted Sharpe ratio = SR x [1 + (S/6) x SR - ((K-3) / 24) x SR^2]}
#'
#' where \eqn{SR} is the sharpe ratio with data annualized, \eqn{S} is the skewness and \eqn{K} is the kurtosis
#' 
#' @aliases AdjustedSharpeRatio
#' @param R an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of
#' asset returns
#' @param Rf the risk free rate
#' @param \dots any other passthru parameters
