+researchers in utilizing the latest research in analysis of non-normal return
+streams.  In general, it is most tested on return (rather than price) data on
+a regular scale, but most functions will work with irregular return data as
+well, and increasing numbers of functions will work with P&L or price data
+where possible.")
