/// Calculates the Sortino ratio for portfolio returns.
///
/// The Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio that only penalizes downside
/// volatility, making it more appropriate for strategies with asymmetric return distributions.
///
/// Formula: `Mean Return / Downside Deviation * sqrt(period)`
///
/// Where downside deviation is calculated as:
/// `sqrt(sum(negative_returns^2) / total_observations)`
///
/// Note: Uses total observations count (not just negative returns) as per Sortino's methodology.
