Function which is used to compute the estimation of the mean returns.
1 | meanEstimation(rets, control = list())
|
rets |
a (T x N) matrix of past returns. |
control |
control parameters (see *Details*). |
The argument control
is a list that can supply any of the following
components:
type
method used to estimate the mean returns,
among 'naive'
, 'ewma'
, 'bs'
and 'mart'
where:
'naive'
is used to compute the arithmetic mean of the returns.
'ewma'
is used to compute the exponential weighted moving average
mean of the returns. The data must be sorted from the oldest to the latest. See RiskMetrics (1996).
'bs'
is used to compute the Bayes-Stein estimation. See Jorion (1986).
'mart'
is used to compute the Martinelli (2008) implied returns.
Default: type = 'naive'
.
lambda
decay parameter. Default: lambda = 0.94
.
A (N x 1) vector of expected returns.
