#' Martin ratio of the return distribution
#'
#' To calculate Martin ratio we divide the difference of the portfolio return
#' and the risk free rate by the Ulcer index
#'
#' \deqn{Martin ratio = \frac{r_P - r_F}{\sqrt{\sum^{n}_{i=1} \frac{{D'_i}^2}{n}}}}{Martin ratio = (rp - rf) / Ulcer index}
#'
#' where \eqn{r_P} is the annualized portfolio return, \eqn{r_F} is the risk free
#' rate, \eqn{n} is the number of observations of the entire series, \eqn{D'_i} is
#' the drawdown since previous peak in period i
#'
#' @aliases MartinRatio
#' @param R an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of
#' asset returns
#' @param Rf risk free rate, in same period as your returns
#' @param \dots any other passthru parameters
