/**
 * @method sortino

 * @description Calculate a Sortino ratio - a measure of risk similar to Sharpe ratio based on downside deviation
 * 
 * @param  {array} return_values asset/portfolio return values
 * @param  {number} target_return expected portfolio return (default 0)
 * @return {number}

 * @example
 * const return_values = [2, 1, -1, 18, 8, -2, 1, -1]
 *
 * sortino(return_values);
