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.
