PainRatio {JFE}

Pain ratio of the return distribution

Description

To calculate Pain ratio we divide the difference of the portfolio return and the risk free rate by the Pain index

Usage

PainRatio(R, Rf = 0)

Arguments

R

an xts, vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns

Rf

risk free rate, in same period as your returns

Details

Pain ratio = \frac{r_P - r_F}{\sum^{n}_{i=1} \frac{\mid D'_i \mid}{n}}

where r_P is the annualized portfolio return, r_F is the risk free rate, n is the number of observations of the entire series, D'_i is the drawdown since previous peak in period i
