#' Plots log-t ES against confidence level
#'
#' Plots the ES of a portfolio against confidence level assuming that geometric returns are
#' Student t distributed, for specified confidence level and holding period.
#'
#' @param ... The input arguments contain either return data or else mean and
#' standard deviation data. Accordingly, number of input arguments is either 5
#' or 6. In case there 5 input arguments, the mean and standard deviation of
#' data is computed from return data. See examples for details.
#'
#' returns Vector of daily geometric return data
#'
#' mu Mean of daily geometric return data
#'
#' sigma Standard deviation of daily geometric return data
#'
#' investment Size of investment
#'
#' df Number of degrees of freedom in the t distribution
#'
#' cl ES confidence level and must be a vector
#'
#' hp ES holding period and must be a scalar
