#' Prospect ratio of the return distribution
#'
#' Prospect ratio is a ratio used to penalise loss since most people feel loss
#' greater than gain
#'
#' \deqn{ProspectRatio(R) = \frac{\frac{1}{n}*\sum^{n}_{i=1}(Max(r_i,0)+2.25*Min(r_i,0) - MAR)}{\sigma_D}}{ProspectRatio(R) = (1/n * sum(Max(ri,0) + 2.25 * Min(ri,0)) - MAR) / DownsideRisk}
#'
#' where \eqn{n} is the number of observations of the entire series, MAR is the minimum acceptable return and \eqn{\sigma_D} is the downside risk
#'
#' @aliases ProspectRatio
#' @param R an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of
#' asset returns
#' @param MAR the minimum acceptable return
#' @param \dots any other passthru parameters
