-  Performance attribution analysis. Portfolio performance

-  based on the sector-based approach to the attribution.
-  The workhorse is the Brinson model that explains the

-  returns. That is it breaks down the arithmetic excess
-  returns at one level. If returns and weights are
-  available at the lowest level (e.g. for individual
-  instruments), the aggregation up to the chosen level from
-  the hierarchy can be done using Return.level function.
-  The attribution effects can be computed for several
-  periods. The multi-period summary is obtained using one
-  of linking methods: Carino, Menchero, GRAP, Frongello. It
-  also allows to break down the geometric excess returns,
-  which link naturally over time. Finally, it annualizes
-  arithmetic and geometric excess returns similarly to the
-  portfolio and/or benchmark returns annualization.
-}
-\details{
-  The arithmetic excess returns are decomposed into the sum
-  of allocation, selection and interaction effects across
-  \deqn{n} sectors:
-  \deqn{r-b=\overset{n}{\underset{i=1}{\sum}}\left(A_{i}+S_{i}+I_{i}\right)}
-  The arithmetic attribution effects for the category
-  \deqn{i} are computed as suggested in the Brinson, Hood
-  and Beebower (1986): \deqn{A_{i}=(w_{pi}-w_{bi})\times
-  R_{bi}} - allocation effect
-  \deqn{S_{i}=w_{pi}\times(R_{pi}-R_{bi})} - selection
-  effect \deqn{I_{i}=(w_{pi}-w_{bi})\times(r_{i}-b_{i})} -
-  interaction effect \deqn{r} - total portfolio returns
-  \deqn{b} - total benchmark returns \deqn{w_{pi}} -
-  weights of the category \deqn{i} in the portfolio
-  \deqn{w_{bi}} - weigths of the category \deqn{i} in the
-  benchmark \deqn{R_{pi}} - returns of the portfolio
-  category \deqn{i} \deqn{R_{bi}} - returns of the
-  benchmark category \deqn{i} If Brinson and Fachler (1985)
-  is selected the allocation effect differs:
-  \deqn{A_{i}=(w_{pi}-w_{bi})\times (R_{bi} - b)} Depending
-  on goals we can give priority to the allocation or to the
-  selection effects. If the priority is given to the sector
-  allocation the interaction term will be combined with the
-  security selection effect (top-down approach). If the
-  priority is given to the security selection, the
-  interaction term will be combined with the
-  asset-allocation effect (bottom-up approach). Usually we
-  have more than one period. In that case individual
-  arithmetic attribution effects should be adjusted using
-  linking methods. Adjusted arithmetic attribution effects
-  can be summed up over time to provide the multi-period
-  summary:
-  \deqn{r-b=\overset{T}{\underset{t=1}{\sum}}\left(A_{t}'+S_{t}'+I_{t}'\right)}
-  , where \deqn{T} - number of periods; prime stands for
-  the adjustment. The geometric attribution effects do not
-  suffer from the linking problem. Moreover we don't have
-  the interaction term. For more details about the
-  geometric attribution see the documentation to
-  \code{link{Attribution.geometric}} Finally, arithmetic
-  annualized excess returns are computed as the arithmetic
-  difference between annualised portfolio and benchmark
-  returns: \deqn{AAER=r_{a}-b_{a}}; the geometric
-  annualized excess returns are computed as the geometric
-  difference between annualized portfolio and benchmark
-  returns: \deqn{GAER=\frac{1+r_{a}}{1+b_{a}}-1} In the
-  case of multi-currency portfolio, the currency return,
-  currency surprise and forward premium should be
-  specified. The multi-currency arithmetic attribution is
-  handled following Ankrim and Hensel (1992). Currency
-  returns are decomposed into the sum of the currency
-  surprise and the forward premium: \deqn{R_{ci} = R_{cei}
-  + R_{fpi}}, where \deqn{R_{cei} = \frac{S_{i}^{t+1} -
-  F_{i}^{t+1}}{S_{i}^{t}} \deqn{R_{fpi} =
-  \frac{F_{i}^{t+1}}{S_{i}^{t}} - 1} \deqn{S_{i}^{t}} -
-  stop rate for asset i at time t \deqn{F_{i}^{t}} -
-  forward rate for asset i at time t Excess returns are
-  decomposed into the sum of allocation, selection and
-  interaction effects as in the standard Brinson model:
-  \deqn{r-b=\overset{n}{\underset{i=1}{\sum}}\left(A_{i}+S_{i}+I_{i}\right)}
-  However the allocation effect is computed taking into
-  account currency effects:
-  \deqn{A_{i}=(w_{pi}-w_{bi})\times (R_{bi} - R_{ci} -
-  R_{l})} - allocation \deqn{R_{l} =
-  \overset{n}{\underset{i=1}{\sum}}w_{bi}\times(R_{bi}-R_{ci})}
-  - benchmark return adjusted for currecy. The contribution
-  from currency is analogous to asset allocation:
-  \deqn{C_{i} = (w_{pi} - w_{bi}) \times (R_{cei} - e) +
-  (w_{pfi} - w_{bfi}) \times (R_{fi} - e)} where \deqn{e =
-  \overset{n}{\underset{i=1}{\sum}}w_{bi}\times R_{cei}}
-  The final term, forward premium, is also analogous to the
-  asset allocation: \deqn{R_{fi} = (w_{pi} - w_{bi}) \times
-  (R_{fpi} - d)} where \deqn{d =
-  \overset{n}{\underset{i=1}{\sum}}w_{bi}\times R_{fpi}}
-  \deqn{R_{fpi}} - forward premium
