assetsLPM: Computation of Lower Partial Moments of Asset Sets

Description

Computes assymmetric lower partial moments from a time series of assets.

Usage

assetsLPM(x, tau, a, ...)

Arguments

x

any rectangular time series object which can be converted by the function as.matrix() into a matrix object, e.g. like an object of class timeSeries, data.frame, or mts.

tau

the target return.

a

the value of the moment.

...

optional arguments to be passed.

Value

• returns a list with two entries named mu and Sigma. The first denotes the vector of lower partial moments, and the second the co-LPM matrix. Note, that the output of this function can be used as data input for the portfolio functions to compute the LPM efficient frontier.
