### skfolio.measures.entropic_risk_measure(returns, theta=1, beta=0.95, sample_weight=None)

Compute the entropic risk measure.

The entropic risk measure is a risk measure which depends on the risk aversion
defined by the investor (theta) through the exponential utility function at a given
confidence level (beta).

* **Parameters:**
  **returns** *ndarray of shape (n_observations,) or (n_observations, n_assets)*
  : Array of return values.

  **theta** *float, default=1.0*
  : Risk aversion.

  **beta** *float, default=0.95*
  : Confidence level.

  **sample_weight** *ndarray of shape (n_observations,), optional*
  : Sample weights for each observation. If None, equal weights are assumed.
* **Returns:**
  **value** *float or ndarray of shape (n_assets,)*
  : Entropic risk measure.
    If `returns` is a 1D-array, the result is a float.
    If `returns` is a 2D-array, the result is a ndarray of shape (n_assets,).

### Notes

NaN handling:
- Unweighted: NaNs are ignored; all-NaN inputs yield NaN.
- Weighted: NaNs propagate.
