(and optional maximal signal-noise-ratio zeta.s
).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
x, q |
vector of quantiles. |
df1 |
the number of assets in the portfolio. |
df2 |
the number of observations. |
zeta.s |
the non-centrality parameter, defined as zeta* = sqrt(mu' Sigma^-1 mu), for population parameters. defaults to 0, i.e. a central maximal Sharpe ratio distribution. |
ope |
the number of observations per 'epoch'. For convenience of
interpretation, The Sharpe ratio is typically quoted in 'annualized'
units for some epoch, that is, 'per square root epoch', though returns
are observed at a frequency of |
drag |
the 'drag' term, c0/R. defaults to 0. It is assumed
that |
log |
logical; if TRUE, densities f are given as log(f). |
p |
vector of probabilities. |
n |
number of observations. |

arguments passed on to the respective Hotelling T^2 functions. |
Suppose xi are n independent draws of a q-variate normal random variable with mean mu and covariance matrix Sigma. Let xbar be the (vector) sample mean, and S be the sample covariance matrix (using Bessel's correction). Let
Z(w) = (w'xbar - c0)/sqrt(w'Sw)
be the (sample) Sharpe ratio of the portfolio w, subject to risk free rate c0.
Let w* be the solution to the portfolio optimization problem:
max {Z(w) | 0 < w'Sw <= R^2},
with maximum value z* = Z(w*). Then
w* = R S^-1 xbar / sqrt(xbar' S^-1 xbar)
and
z* = sqrt(xbar' S^-1 xbar) - c0/R
The variable z* follows an Optimal Sharpe ratio distribution. For convenience, we may assume that the sample statistic has been annualized in the same manner as the Sharpe ratio, that is by multiplying by d, the number of observations per epoch.
The Optimal Sharpe Ratio distribution is parametrized by the number of assets, q, the number of independent observations, n, the noncentrality parameter,
zeta* = sqrt(mu' Sigma^-1 mu),
the 'drag' term, c0/R, and the annualization factor, d. The drag term makes this a location family of distributions, and by default we assume it is zero.
The parameters are encoded as follows:
q is denoted by df1
.
n is denoted by df2
.
zeta* is denoted by zeta.s
.
d is denoted by ope
.
c_0/R is denoted by drag
.

This is a thin wrapper on the Hotelling T-squared distribution, which is a wrapper on the F distribution.
