This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-fportfolio package of fPortfolio,
a set of functions for portfolio and asset price modeling, drawdown
statistics, value-at-risk and Markowitz portfolio construction, and
part of Rmetrics, a collection of packages for financial engineering
and computational finance. Both fPortfolio and Rmetrics were written
and compiled primarily by Diethelm Wuertz.
This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from
http://www.rmetrics.org
and are also available from
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
and all CRAN mirrors as e.g.
http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/
The package was renamed from its upstream name 'fPortfolio' to
'r-cran-fportfolio' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages
for R.
