compareCov: This is a utility function to compare two covariance matrices
Description
This is a utility function to compare two covariance matrices
Usage
compareCov(cov1, cov2, labels, corr = FALSE)
Arguments
cov1
covariance matrix using the first method
cov2
covariance matrix using the second method
labels
strings indicating the type of methods used for comparison
corr
flag indicating if the supplied matrices are of type covariance
or correlation
Details
This method takes in two different covariance/correlation matrices computed
using two different methods and visullay compares them using the ellipse plot.
It produces a matrix with ellipses drawn in the upper triangle. The ellipse
is drawn to be a contour of a standard bivariate normal with correlation given
by the correlation of the two assets. One ellipse is drawn for each covariance
matrix.
