InformationAdjustedCorr: Information Adjusted Correlation
Description
Calculates the Information-Adjusted Correlation between the track records of various assets/strategies which covers for cases whereby the 'typical' Pearson's correlation
assumptions do not hold. The normalized cross sample entropy has been utilized for the mutual information estimation.
Usage
InformationAdjustedCorr(x, y, m = 2, r = 0.2)
Value
The information adjusted correlation
Arguments
x
a vector containing the track record of the underlying asset/strategy (can be a data.table, data.frame, vector etc)
y
a vector containing the track record of the underlying asset/strategy (can be a data.table, data.frame, vector etc)
m
an integer value defining the embedding dimension for the sample entropy calculation, default value is 2
r
a double value defining the tolerance for the sample entropy calculation, default value is 0.2
x = PerformanceAnalytics::edhec[,c("Short Selling")]
y = PerformanceAnalytics::edhec[,c("Convertible Arbitrage")]
Information_Adjusted_Corr = InformationAdjustedCorr(x, y, m=2, r=0.2)
