CDaR. For every time moment, j=1,...J ,  portfolio  drawdown = d(j) = maxn ((uncompounded cumulative portfolio return at time moment n ) - (uncompounded cumulative portfolio return at time moment j )). CDaR  = CVaR Component Positive of vector (d(1), ..., d(J)) = average of the largest (1-α)%  components of the vector (d(1), ..., d(J)), where 0≤α≤1 .

 

Syntax

cdar_dev(α,matrix)

short call

cdar_dev_name(α,matrix)

call with optional name

 

Parameters

       is a confidence level.

matrix        is a Matrix of Scenarios:

       

where the header row contains names of variables (except scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark). Other rows contain numerical data. The scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark columns are optional.

 

Mathematical Definition
