Hi I have some problems in defining new generic functions and classes. Just have a look at the following example: require(fPortfolio) setClass("PROBECLASS", representation( type="character" ) ) isGeneric("setType<-") #Returns TRUE #I would like to define a specific function for class PROBECLASS with other argume...

Hello, I hesitate to call this a bug, because I could have forgotten something important, but the MarkowitzPortfolio example in fPortfolio does not work for me. Here's my code: > library(fPortfolio) > >xmpPortfolio("\nStart: Load monthly data set of returns > ") > data(berndtInvest) > # Exclude Date, Market and Interest Rate columns from data frame, > # then multiply by 10...

Hello. I am trying to use the portfolio backtesting function in fPortfolio package, but I don't now why in my version of fPortfolio I don't have either the portfolioBactest nor the portfolioBacktesting functions. Does anybody knows what might be going on? thank you Felipe Parra [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I would like to do a portfolio optimization in R and I tried to use the function in "fPortfolio", but it appears there does not exist such function. Could anyone give me some advice? Many thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/fPortfolio-Package-tf4492927.html#a12813809 Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello everybody, I'm running into an issue with the fPortfolio package. 1. What I want: Calculate the minimum-variance portfolio on 20 assets with respect to the following constraints: - min weight per asset = 0% (i.e. no short-selling) - max weight per asset = 10% - min sum of asset weights = 100% (i.e. fully invested) - max sum of asset weights = 100% (...

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux and using the fPortfolio package, I am having trouble specifying a sector constraint. One of the constraints to be imposed is that assets 1 and 2 together account for no more than 13.63% of the portfolio. My attempt at coding that constraint, "maxsumW[1:2Assets]=13.63" fails. The relevant section of my co...

Hello, I have a problem with fPortfolio recently. I am using below code: Data = read.table("hf.txt",header = TRUE,sep = "") Data = Data[, c("CA", "SS", "EM", "EMN", "ED", "DS", "MS", "RA", "FIA", "GM", "LSE"...

Dear All, I am using package fPortfolio to run minimum variance portfolio optimizations in R. I already know how to set portfolioSpecs, portfolio objects and constraints. Unfortunately I am not able to set the following type of constraints. I have a timeSeries object with returns data for roughly 1.5k assets for 261 subperiods (workingd...

Hello, I have some simulations of financial data, I have 17 variables simulated 1000 times to three horizons. I am tring to plot the efficient frontier which I already obtained using th fPortfolio package. I am using the following commands: Data=timeSeries(X[1,,]) lppSpec <- portfolioSpec() longFrontier <- portfolioFrontier(Data, lppSpec) plot(longFrontier) Selección: 1 Error en dimnames(x) <- dn : la longitud de 'dimnames' [1] no es igual a la extensión del arreglo >...

Hi - First posting here. I am using fPortfolio to try and optimize a simple portfolio consisting of 5 daily return series. I want to maximize return subject to setTargetRisk(myspec)=0.08 using only constraints="LongOnly" I can run feasiblePortfolio() using a spec file that specifies the weights, and it works fine. When I run maxretu...

Hello everyone, I have been spending many hours on a seemingly simple portfolio optimization problem using the package fPortfolio. My optimization problem is slightly different than a standard one such that I have a known set of asset returns. My problem is how to collect this information into my functions and pass them onto the optimization function. I have written my own covariance estimation function using the "shri...

Hi I think I have asked these questions earlier, but I been able to find answers from the documentation (which I found poorly written in several places). Will someone be kind enough to give me answers and enlighten me? (as in explain with CODE?) I want to embed R in my application and use the fPortfolio package for carrying out risk management computations. Right now I'm reading the Rmetrics Ebook and trying to convert the various examples into embedded C code. Coming from a strictly C background, I have slight difficulty in comprehending a functional language like R and it gets worse when I...

Hi I'm getting the following errors while using the efficientPortfolio function even though I'm setting the target return to the mean of the TargetReturn I obtain from the portfolio object created by the feasiblePortfolio function. First Error: Error: targetReturn >= min(mu) is not TRUE Second Error: Error in .rquadprog(Dmat = args$Dmat, dvec = args$dvec, Amat = args$Amat, :

Hi I'm trying to implement something similar to the following R snippet using C. I seem to have hit the wall on accessing class slots using C. library(fPortfolio) lppData <- 100 * LPP2005.RET[, 1:6] ewSpec <- portfolioSpec() nAssets <- ncol(lppData) setWeights(ewSpec) <- rep(1/nAssets, times = nAssets) ewPortfolio <- feasiblePortfolio( data = lppData, spec = ewSpec, constraints = "LongOnly") ewSpec is an object of type P...

Hi, I am running R on Win 7. I got error for > listDescription(fPortfolio) Error: could not find function "listDescription" What do I need to install for solving this ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...I am unable to try out examples from the Rmetrics Ebook from the R command prompt. Below is an example of what happens: > Covariance<-cov(SWX.RET) Error in cov.timeSeries(SWX.RET) : no slot of name "Data" for this object of class "timeSeries" I have loaded Rmetrics and fPortfolio using the library function but still I get these errors. However, if I embed the R code into a C program like below it works. Why is this happening? I'm very confused. Program: #include <Rinternals.h> #include <Rembedded.h> int main (int argc, char** argv) { SEXP e,val;...

Dear All, I would like to know if it is possible to obtain the optimal asset allocation with the fPortfolio library (or others), but setting at the beginning a desired level of Target Risk. For example I can obtain the optimal asset allocation with fPortfolio library or portfolio.optim() function (in tseries library) setting a desired Target Return, but I dont't know any library or function that...

I'm trying to find 50 portfolios on the efficient frontier using the Black-Litterman model but have not found a suitable method for doing so. I tried using the "portfoliosFrontier" function given in the package fPortfolio using the "optimalPortfolios.fPort" function on package "BLCOP" but does not provide satisfactory results -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-determine-the-efficient-frontier-portfolios-using-the-Black-Litterman-model-tp3843954p3843954.html Sen...
