OmegaSharpeRatio: Omega-Sharpe ratio of the return distribution

In tsungwu/JFE: Tools and GUI for Analyzing Time Series Data of Just Finance and Econometrics

Omega-Sharpe ratio of the return distribution

Description

The Omega-Sharpe ratio is a conversion of the omega ratio to a ranking statistic in familiar form to the Sharpe ratio.

Usage

OmegaSharpeRatio(R, MAR = 0, ...)

Arguments

R	an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns
MAR	Minimum Acceptable Return, in the same periodicity as your returns
...	any other passthru parameters

Details

To calculate the Omega-Sharpe ration we subtract the target (or Minimum Acceptable Returns (MAR)) return from the portfolio return and we divide it by the opposite of the Downside Deviation.

OmegaSharpeRatio(R,MAR) = (Rp - Rt) / -DownsidePotential(R,MAR)

where n is the number of observations of the entire series
