+\arguments{
+\item{...}{The input arguments contain either return data or else mean and
+ standard deviation data. Accordingly, number of input arguments is either 4
+ or 5. In case there 4 input arguments, the mean and standard deviation of
+ data is computed from return data. See examples for details.
+
+ returns Vector of daily P/L data
+
+ mu Mean of daily geometric return data
+
+ sigma Standard deviation of daily geometric return data
+
+ df Number of degrees of freedom in the t-distribution
+
+ cl ES confidence level
+
+ hp ES holding period in days}
+}
+\value{
+Matrix of ES whose dimension depends on dimension of hp and cl. If
+cl and hp are both scalars, the matrix is 1 by 1. If cl is a vector and hp is
+ a scalar, the matrix is row matrix, if cl is a scalar and hp is a vector,
+ the matrix is column matrix and if both cl and hp are vectors, the matrix
+ has dimension length of cl * length of hp.
+}
+\description{
+Estimates the ES of a portfolio assuming that P/L are
+t-distributed, for specified confidence level and holding period.
+}
+\examples{
+# Computes ES given P/L data
+   data <- runif(5, min = 0, max = .2)
+   tES(returns = data, df = 6, cl = .95, hp = 90)
