bubbleweights: Generate a bubble plot of asset weights.

Description Usage Arguments

Description

This function is useful to visualize the momentm vs. volatility of a universe of assets, along with the relative weights of each asset. The colors of each bubble dot is chosen based on the asset class for the given dot.

bubbleweights(x, y, dotweights, dotclass = NA, labelpos = NA,
  xlab = "Volatility (%)", ylab = "Momentum (%)",
  legendloc = "topleft", cex.dots = 0.8, cex.legend = 0.8,
  hline = NA, main = "Momentum vs. Volatility Bubble Plot", ...)

Arguments

x

A named vector or single row xts containing the X values. If a single row xts, the index is ignored, but the column names are used to name any unnamed vector provided for y or dotweights.

y

An order-matched unnamed vector, or a single row xts containing the Y values.

dotweights

An order-matched vector or single row xts containing the relative weights of each dots.

dotclass

A list associating each asset to its asset class. The list follows the format asset_name = "asset class" e.g. SPY = "equities". Up to TBD asset classes can be named with colors automatically assigned.

labelpos

A named vector or a list of labels associating some or all assets to a non-default location relative to the dot on the plot. The default label location is on the right. Valid locations are "above", "below", "left" or "right". Format for the list is: SPY = "above". Default is NA i.e. no exceptions, all labels on the right.

xlab

The x-axis label.

ylab

The y-axis label.

legendloc

The legend location. Valid values are "bottomright", "bottom", "bottomleft", "left", "topleft", "top", "topright", "right" and "center".

cex.dots

Relative scaling of the labels on each dot.

cex.legend

Relative scaling of the legend.

hline

The vertical location to place a horizontal line. Default is NA (no line).

main

The plot title. The index(last(x)) is automatically appended and plotted under the title to show the date of the analysis.
