charts.PerformanceSummary: Create combined wealth index, period performance, and...

In R-Finance/PerformanceAnalytics: Econometric tools for performance and risk analysis.

Description

For a set of returns, create a wealth index chart, bars for per-period performance, and underwater chart for drawdown.

Usage

charts.PerformanceSummary(R, Rf = 0, main = NULL, geometric = TRUE,
  methods = "none", width = 0, event.labels = NULL, ylog = FALSE,
  wealth.index = FALSE, gap = 12, begin = c("first", "axis"),
  legend.loc = "topleft", p = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

R	an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
Rf	risk free rate, in same period as your returns
p	confidence level for calculation, default p=.95
main	set the chart title, as in plot
geometric	utilize geometric chaining (TRUE) or simple/arithmetic chaining (FALSE) to aggregate returns, default TRUE
methods	Used to select the risk parameter of trailing width returns to use in the chart.BarVaR panel: May be any of: None - does not add a line, ModifiedVaR - uses Cornish-Fisher modified VaR, GaussianVaR - uses traditional Value at Risk, HistoricalVaR - calculates historical Value at Risk, ModifiedES - uses Cornish-Fisher modified Expected Shortfall, GaussianES - uses traditional Expected Shortfall, HistoricalES - calculates historical Expected Shortfall, StdDev - per-period standard deviation
begin	Align shorter series to: first - prior value of the first column given for the reference or longer series or, axis - the initial value (1 or zero) of the axis. passthru to chart.CumReturns
event.labels	TRUE/FALSE whether or not to display lines and labels for historical market shock events
wealth.index	if wealth.index is TRUE, shows the "value of $1", starting the cumulation of returns at 1 rather than zero
width	number of periods to apply rolling function window over
gap	numeric number of periods from start of series to use to train risk calculation
ylog	TRUE/FALSE set the y-axis to logarithmic scale, similar to plot, default FALSE
legend.loc	sets the legend location in the top chart. Can be set to NULL or nine locations on the chart: bottomright, bottom, bottomleft, left, topleft, top, topright, right, or center.
...	any other passthru parameters

Note

Most inputs are the same as "plot" and are principally included so that some sensible defaults could be set.
