Worst Drawdowns Summary: Statistics and Stylized Facts

Description

Creates table showing statistics for the worst drawdowns.

Usage

table.Drawdowns(R, top = 5, digits = 4, geometric = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

R	an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
top	the number of drawdowns to include
digits	number of digits to round results to
geometric	utilize geometric chaining (TRUE) or simple/arithmetic chaining (FALSE) to aggregate returns, default TRUE
...	any other passthru parameters

Details

Returns an data frame with columns:

• From starting period, high water mark

• Trough period of low point
