> I've added semivariance calculations to my local build of commons-math and I
> would like to contribute them.
> Semivariance is described a little bit on
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semivariance , but a real reason you would use
> them is in finance in order to compute the Sortino ratio rather than the
> Sharpe ratio.
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortino_ratio gives an explanation of the
> Sortino ratio and why you would choose to use that rather than the Sharpe
> ratio. (There are other ways to measure the performance of your portfolio,
> but I wont bore everybody with that stuff)
> I've already got the coding completed along with the test cases and building
> using mvn site.
> The only two files I've modified is
> src/main/java/org/apache/commons/stat/StatUtils.java and
> src/test/java/org/apache/commons/math/stat/StatUtilsTest.java
